Cask at the King’s Highway (JDW), Inverness, Scotland.
Clear amber colour with small to average size creamy off-white head. Very mild aroma. Weak yeasty aroma. Mild citrusy tart flavour with mild bitterness. Smooth. Mild bitterness in aftertaste.

Cask @ Old Mill, Brodie
Copper brown, thick frothy white head.
Aroma of light grass hop and sweet malt with hint of strawberry.
Taste....Caramel malt...hint of strawberry....bitter hops...bit of toffee cinder.
Palate bittersweet initially, then a mild bitter lingering finish with a hint of strawberry.
Overall....Quite a pleasant beer, but the strawberry seems a bit tacked on (it is a strawberry blonde beer according to the description).

A new beer not mentioned on the brewery website. Cask @ The Hengler’s Circus. Medium brown colour, good head. Sour, grassy, caramel malt aroma. Spicy fagash flavour. Quite smooth with bitter aftertaste. New but not a good beer.
