A pint at Au Bar. Appearance - deep amber with a decent head. Nose - caramel shortbread. Taste - yes more caramel shortbread. Particularly biscuity finish. Lovely green nettle undercurrent. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - lovely balance between sweet and bitter.

Cask at Bow Bar. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The nose is sweet, spicy, grassy, floral, nettles and sweet grain. The taste is lightly bitter, grassy, floral, nettles, sweet pale malt, honey? and a touch of spice with a short finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. A bit wishy-washy. So-so.

Cask at Cloisters. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas of caramel, almost butterscotch, something green, not necessarily nettles though. They come through a bit on the taste, but not in a sting-y way, just more βgreenβ. Not much else going on. Pretty dull to be honest.

Cask (Bow Bar, Edinburgh) - Amber in colour. Sultanas and some slightly spicy hints in the aroma. Malty and fruity taste with a slightly tangy kick.
