Cask by handpump at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh (11 Jul 2012) - clear copper, thin creamy head, sweet malty aroma, caramel, lightly hopped, high carbonation, bit thin, bitter finish

(draught) pours a slightly hazy golden-amber colour with no head. aroma of caramel and straciatella, slightly earthy, with notes of brown sugar, strawberries and herbal hops. flavour is mostly the same, caramel and brown sugar, with a twiggy dry and slightly tart finish. watery body with very soft carbonation.

Cask conditioned handpump Malt Shovel Northampton 03/07/12. More amber than copper. A sweet caramelly cakey aroma and taste. Low conditioning and low hops. A bit of chocolate in the nose. Has decent bits but not altogether satisfying.
