cask ... golden amber ... thin white head .. light sweet floral hop nose ... sweet orange hop .. light dry linger ... soft floralness ... bit pealy wally

Cask @ Benleva Hotel, Drumnadrochit
Golden amber, clear, no head only a few bubbles
Aroma of light honey caramel, light orange
Taste of light caramel malts, soft citrus fruits, touch of orange, odd plasticy note which is a bit off putting, hint of manure
Palate - very soft carb to flat, thin to medium body, bit viscous texture. Finish light orange citrus fruit, digestive biscuit in the finish
Overall - Some odd flavours in there spoilt it for me

Cask Stillage at Nottingham Castle, Nottingham 15/10/2010 Pale hop aroma. White head. Clear golden coloured floral and hoppy with a hint of dryness in a slightly earthy malt finish.

Cask, handpump at The Guildford, Edinburgh in company of Craig & Loz 29.10.10 Pours mid gold with a white head. I was expecting this to be really hoppy but it’s not so hoppy really. Some lovely creamy vanilla with fudge & toffee. There is a little bitterness on the back end and those shy hops eventually start to shine. A6 A5 T8 P4 Ov14 3.7
