Cask gravity, Hereford 2010. ’Cool Hill’ say my notes. Orange-edged amber with a creamy white lid and lace. Kind of a Scottish Banks’s; hay and caramel with gentle dried fruit undertones, hints of peat and choc. Pleasant but not impressive.

STBF07 Aroma is sweet malts, bitter hops can be found slightly. Taste is a similar one dimentional malty nothing ale. Another scottish failure.

Amber coloure ale, light honnyish fruity nost, zezty tingly high fruit with a little hop in finnish

Cask Stillage at the Metropolitan Centre, Bury 22/11/2003 Amber coloured cloudy in appearance and hoppy. Slightly dry lasting malt finish.

Draught at JD’s Galashiels. The only cask beer available on this visit. Hazy, with a thin head. This was pretty much an average bitter with no distinguishing features other than a rather sharp bitter edge to the finish. I wasn’t impressed, which is a shame as I rate the other beers from Sulwath quite highly, perhaps I should try again if I come across it again.

Gravity @ Betteroffnotgoing Festival. Slightly dull amber. No aroma. Thin, sharp bodied. Some apple. Some acid. A slight nuttiness, but very faint. Not interesting. A bit green. Some allowance made.

A very thin pale summer quaffing style ale. Drinkable, but nothing to write home about. Cask (gravity), Battersea Beer Festival.
