Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden. Light hay aroma. Dryish with light body. Grainy malt hides under salt and grass. Finishing with marked bitterness. A straightforward quenching beer.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Amber colour, lasting thin off white head. Yeast aroma, it’s an ok beer. Little bit empty in the mouth, but ok satsuma and yeast characters.

Cask in Filmhouse Bar edinburgh ..Bright orange ... thin bright white head ... citrus hops ... light and fruity ... quite hoppy and biscuity as always.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, 3 December 2009 as Homecoming Scotland. Gold colour. Biscuity malt aroma. Also some cereal. First thought was Weetabix but perhaps Scots porridge is more appropriate. Rather grainy flavour too. Not overwhelming enough to be unpleasant but not really what is expected (or desirable) in a Golden ale. Wonder whether there was something not quite right here.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Caramel, bit of green apple, perhaps some diactyl, subtle grassy hop. Didnt get this one right.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 4 Dec 2009) Pale amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with mandarin and orange. Malty, fruity taste with notes of orange, mandarin, grainy malt and fresh citrussy hops in the finish. Medium body, mainly dry. Nicely balanced. Nice one.

Cask at The Market Porter, labelled as Homecoming Scotland Beer. Hazy amber with a small froth. Fruity and earthy aroma and flavours, good bitterness. A decent bitter.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Coppery gold with a small white head, Slightly buttery caramel aroma. Rich sweet malty taste with a little hair. Mid bitter finish. Liked it.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy golden colour with a small sticky white head. Neutral yeast, salt, hay and dried oranges in the aroma.
