Cask at Cloisters. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Light aromas of honey, malt, little else. Taste is a little on the soapy side. Thin and watery. Not great.

On tap at the Cafe Royal. Appearance - golden with a slight haze. Nice head. Nose - toasty. No hops coming through. Taste - honey and malt. Sine finishing astringency. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly dry finish. Overall - certainly not a modern style pale ale.

Cask at Halfway House, Edinburgh. Bright golden. Grassy citric nose. Sweet and fruity with light body. Slimmed with freshening orangey hops creating some late bitterness. Good!

Cask conditioned at the Halfway House, Edinburgh. Amber colour, low head. Very moderate aroma, a slight fruitiness and maltiness. Boring flavour - "dusty" malty with a hint of caramel, but quite dry. Minimal bitterness.
