Cask at The Beehive. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas of toffee and light spice. Taste is more of the same. Slightly sticky finish, but otherwise a solid bitter.

O cask at Au Bar. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - toffee and ginger biscuits. Taste - mostly spice and biscuits. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a dry bitter finish. Overall - interesting bitter.

Has a light golden-brown colour. Fruity (berry), leafy hop aroma. Soft body with light fruitiness and a fresh, clean finish. Yeah I wrote that. But it’s true in this instance.

Nowt special just a really solid traditional bitter. Looked exactly how a pint should look too in a nice chunky jar.

Cask @ St Ronans, Innerleithen
Golden caramel brown, clear, thin white head, good lacing
Aroma - light toffee, light fruity malts, hint of raisin, bit of dough
Taste - Caramel malts, touch of burnt toffee, quite rich toffee malts, some soft dark fruits, light bread dough, background of a bit earthy bitter hop, nice traditional flavours
Palate - soft carb, thin to medium body, bitter palate. Finish - biscuitity malts come thorough, soft bitter hops, bit of roasted bitterness in the linger, clean finish
Overall - I thought this was a pretty good bitter

Half pint, hand-pulled from cask at Guildford Arms. Nice appearance with a deep and clear golden-brown body. Low, stable white head. Leafy hops and caramel malts to the nose. More resin-like hops in flavour mixed with mid-sweet malts. Smooth bitter tail. Satisfying (Edinburgh, 09.04.2012)
