Cask at Cloisters. It pours clear golden-amber with a decent white head. The nose software, doughy, citrus peel, stone fruit, sherbet and brioche. The taste is bitter, doughy, crisp citrus, grapefruit, lemon peel, light acidity with a dry, citric finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice citrussy hops, almost verging to the dark side (aka session Ipa). Decent session stuff.

On cask at Cloisters at Highland Tap Takeover. Pours a creamy golden colour with a nicely proportioned head. The nose is reminiscent of their Best - very nettley with hay in the background. The taste is more of the same with some pine in amongst the nettles and some stone fruit in the barley background, The palate is excellent and makes this beer - medium bodied with a creamy middle and a long long long zingy finish. So refreshing and unmistakably a beer from Highland.
