Third of a cask pint at the Scottish Real Ale Festival in Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange on 7th July 2017. Really disappointed with this beer having loved everything else ( I think ) I have had from Traquair House. This was watery and weak in all aspects, nearly took it back! Scored kindly.

Cask at Cloisters. It pours clear deep amber-brown with a medium yellow-white head. The nose is toasted brown, grainy, mild caramel, earth and wood. The taste is smooth, toasted grain, brown, wood and leather with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Simple malt-driven job. OK, but probably their poorest offering.

Cask at Scottish Real Ale Festival 2014. Clear caramel body with a thin off-white head. Light lacing. Aroma of earth, heather and Hobnob biscuits. Flavour of caramel, grass and biscuit. Thin body with an oily mouthfeel. Faint carbonation prickle. Well balanced - quite plain, but very nice.

Cask at The Scottish Real Ale Festival 2014. Pours clear amber, thin off-white head. Aromas of caramel and apples, light sugar. Taste is sweet. Finishes clean enough. Bit boring to be honest.

Medium white creamy head. Faintly hazy coppery body. Fruity wooden aroma with vinegary notes. Dry-sweet perfumy caramelly fruit taste with wooden roasty notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry-acidic fruity caramel aftertaste with wooden notes. Not bad. (0.25l cask, Guildford Arms, Edinburgh.)
