COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available filtered in bottle.
This is a strong traditional ale with intense malt flavours and a citrus hop aroma. A very smooth beer with a well-rounded, distinctly "moreish" finish.

Quite a tasty ale. Aroma is short but some hop character coming through. Taste is quite well balanced and very easily drinkable.

albert007 (415) - Penobsquis, New Brunswick, CANADA - JUL 31, 2005
Cask. Copper color, with decent head. Fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness. No real hop presence. Decent finishing ale, but not outstanding. Very nice setting in the Highlands though.

chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 22, 2005
Nice gingery copper colour. Plenty of tangy hops, juicy fruit and firm malt in the aroma. Maybe just a touch grainy. More of the same on the palate. Excellent balance. Fresh, clean and succulent. A very nice drop. Cask (gravity dispense), Battersea Beer Festival, February 2005.
