Dark brown with a huge head, that is quickly disappearing. The aroma is slightly malty. The flavour is a bit sour, malty with notes of fruit, citrus and smoke. The finish is dry. A boring beer, but easy to drink.

Appearance: Pours a brownish-amber body with an off-white head that is thin and short-lived. Smell: Flimsy, weak aroma of watered down caramel and, to my surprise, green apples. Taste: Light, biscuity malt flavor along with some vague wooden notes and hints of sour green apples. Some faint hops spring up late into the already short finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body with a carbonated mouthfeel that reminds me of a soda. Drinkability: Disappointing and fairly unremarkable.

Rated 6/22/06: Draught Can, 5.2% abv, this is a spectacular ale. Creamy pour that ends up a medium copper/amber with an enormously thick fluffy head and some signs of sticky lacing. Aroma is sweet with a nice bread-like quality. Semi-thick mouthfeel that finishes full and smooth. Flavor is great, nice and malty agian with a nice bread tone. Slightly bitter but hardly noticeable. This is a great example for a Scottish "Pub" Ale.

Poured into an English Pint. The color was a nice coppery clear color with an inch head and excellent lacing. The scent was malt and yeast. Some carmel notes domintated the taste with a very bitter ending. A very enjoyable beer.

draft into a plastic cup from the harp... I was expecting a pint glass, but oh well. The nitro tap and cold temp of this beer hid most of the flavors. It was redish and tasted a little bit like a bluebird bitter. I shouldn’t have tried this beer for $5.50, but they didn’t have a single IPA out of their dozen drafts. Don’t eat the food at the harp either... nasty shit comes out of that kitchen.

Dark copper poured from a 500ml bottle, very nice clarity. Wide range of aromas. A doughy maltiness dominates with hints of peat, banana, and bitter hops. Medium in body and slightly bitter in the mouth with a mostly dry finish.

Earthy, dirt aroma. Clear copper with very thin head. Earthy notes with very few notes of hops. Smooth with a dry finish.

Deep amber beer. Aroma of caramalt and fruity ester. The taste is malty and soft with a nice bitterness. Overcarbonated in the bottle version.
