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 the Stockbridge Tap, Edinburgh] Released to co-incide with Homecoming Scotland 2009, a dry and biscuity golden bitter with a generous white head. Almost oaty on the taste, the biscuity malt really comes across. Nicer the more it went down, something nutty in there as well. Really quite nice [15022009]

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 (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 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. Medium-bodied with notes of yeast, grass and mild citric fruits. Grainy mouthfeel. Salty and grassy medium-bitter finish with notes of dough, yeast and orange-peels.

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 at Akkurat) Poured pale amber and lightly hazy with medium sized and white head. Aroma contained toffee and hops. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were malts, toffee, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter and lightly sweet.

It poured a hazy pale golden liquid with a small white foam, that left a thick even layer of lacing. Weak smell with a hint of grassy hops. Very smooth mouthfeel. Medium bitterness that lasted a long time. A classic bitter with a taste of grassy hops. Enjoyable and easy to drink.

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