Cask at GBBF 2006. Pale copper with thick cream head. Yeasty stoney beer. Quite a sharp hop to it. Pleasant, drinkable, hop keeps you interested. Some caramel. Hops on end are good.

Cask conditioned – handpump – GBBF. A copper coloured beer with a nice whitish head and some lacing. The aroma is typical Caledonian. Some butterscotch or caramale notes over a citrus hop smell. The taste is more of the same and happily the hoppiness does dominate a little. Fairly decent and tasty

UPDATED: APR 8, 2006 Cask@The Wenlock Arms, London. Slightly flowery and hoppy. Lightly sweet pale malt notes, with some slightly buttery/caramel flavours. Not to bad. Perhaps a touch too sweet for its strength.

An average cali beer, brewed along with six nations for the rugby i think. Aroma has cali written all over it, with the malts saying more than the hops. Taste is a bit minimal, but simiar to the aroma.

Decent beer, I liked it, although it was strange to see the clip, and the name. It was medium dark, and creamy.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask conditioned @ Humble Plumb, Soton. Light copper colour. Perfumed peachy hops and sulphurous yeast aromas. Light cheap malt flavours and little bitterness. Fairly drinkable but many other UK brewers now have light bitters verging on golden ales that are much better than this.
