Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#23. Hazy golden coloured brew. Easy enough but only a hint of fruit in taste doesn't give it too much 'American' appeal in terms of style. Perhaps a little better in aroma.

20/1/2026. Cask at Hamilton Hall, Bishopsgate, Londin. Pours okay. It was bitter, herbal, floral, rubbery. Had a distinct burnt plastic edge. It improved in initial impressions but wasn’t great.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours a hazy golden amber with a msall foamy almost white head and excellent lacing, The aroma has biscuits, bread rolls and autumn fruits plus a hint of mango. In the mouth it starts off quite sweet but with some underlying bitterness which steadily increases. Flavour has malts, floral hops and tangerine with traces of melon coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is quite reasonable.
