Tasted this in the Bull Inn, Paisley in November 2008. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale tawny in colour with a thin white head. Dry dusty hops in the aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a thin base of digestive biscuit with a hint of redcurrant fruit. A dry almost citric bite in the bitter aftertaste. Finish is well balanced but bland with a digestive biscuit note just evident. Poor effort and would take Caley 80/ over this one.

cask from Cloisters edinburgh ... Golden yellow ... light fruit hop nose ... sweet light pine hop ... gentle fruityness.

From cask at Three Judges. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Mild fruity and slight citrusy aroma. Mild caramelish and slight spiced base flavour. Solid bitterness coming through. Holds a dry and bitter finish. Light roasted acidicy on the back of the tongue and nose.
