Scopey (1659) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 17, 2011
Cask at 2011 Deeside Beer Festival. It pours hazy light amber, with a thin fluffy white head and soft carbonation. The nose is light caramel, grass and pine. The taste is lemon and lime zest, wood, hay, grass, brown bread and some light honey sweetness. It tastes fresh and has a tangy, woody bitter finish. A pretty standard golden ale.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2011 Cask @ 2011 Paisley Beer Festival 2011. Rich golden amber colour, reasonable head. Biscuit, cereal & resin aroma. Citrus fruit flavour. Bitter aftertaste. Reasonable golden ale.

DruncanVeasey (5150) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - APR 9, 2011
Gravity, Coventry 2011. Dusty copper with a coarse-bubbled cream head. Slight burnt wood, berries, dried hop aroma. Soft malty brew with pleasant dry roasted nut, hay-like hop and blackcurrant notes. Basic, tasty bitter.

Bullit (3285) - Burgos, SPAIN - MAY 12, 2010
Cask @ 3 Judges. Slightly hazy, dark golden colour, white head. Aroma is malty and sour. Flavour is malty, sour, metallic. Not pleasant. A bit disappointing, compared to the excellent made Talorcan.
