Tasted this in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in August 2000. Cask handpump dispense. Clear amber red in colour with a thin creamy white head. Slight hint of butterscotch on the short aroma. Creamy texture to the thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a digestive biscuit note with slight raisin fruit. The hop resins give a brief appearance in the bitter aftertaste. Bitter sweet finish like Caley 80/. An ok session ale but nothing too spectacular.

Light citric notes throughout with a spicy, fresh edge to the flavour. Some juicy fruit. More in the flavour than the aroma. Very smooth. Maybe a touch sweet but slipped down very nicely. More in the flavour than the aroma. Rather better than I expected.
