Jeddart Justice was an expression for old Borders Law, which dictated that a man was to be hanged first and tried second. This applied to those who were at such a rogue level, that true justice wasn’t an option.
Jeddart Justice is a subtle reminder of how the lawlessness of the border Reivers forced the powers of the law to take drastic measures.

On cask at the sraf. Golden amber with a thin head. Toffee mainly. Dry bitter malt. A solid esb but it doesn’t build expectation.

Amber and a bit hazy. Sourish aroma. Similar taste, light body, soft maltiness. Kind of cookie-like, bit then the malts can seem almost Franconian. Hard to know what to make of this.

I don't know why it's lost my rating for this one. I'll add another full review if / when I have it again. I remember nothing other than it being a fairly typical bitter of the style.
