Keg at Surgeon’s Hall. Clear golden/amber body with a dense white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of grain and metal. Flavour of cereal, watery grain and a tangy, metallic finish. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Very dull. Tastes like a non-alcoholic beer.

Clear amber beer with a creamy white head. Body is smooth and creamy too. Not a huge amount of taste other than a bit of hop. Not much smell either. Just a bit dull.

Keg @ Butterfly and Pig. Fairly bland, reminded me of John Smiths. Old Engine Oil was in bottles. Switched to that

Keg @ Bertie’s Bar, Inverness railway station [200513]
Typical nitro keg, amber, dense white head, looks like Belhaven Best
Aroma of vague sweet caramel malt
Taste of light honey malt, touch of caramel, almost no hops just some soft bitterness, little going on but no off notes
Palate - Soft carb, light body, bit oily, touch of honey sweetness, finish as main flavour.
Overall - Yeah it’s boring nitro keg Belhaven Best clone but it’s actually a bit better. It’s certainly drinkable but very ZZZzzzz

On tap @ the Bayview Bistro in the Wigtown Hotel. Pours dark amber with a proportional head. The nose has toffee and dark malt. The taste has toffee and biscuits. The palate is medium bodied and there is a medium thick texture but not so refreshing on the end. Overall, this is another of the many generic keg ales found everywhere (even though this particular one is not found everywhere).

draft at the Morag hostel bar in St. Augustus - Had to google this one as to my surprise it’s not in the database yet. It’s a Coors product apparently intended to compete with John Smith’s and Belhaven Best in the Scottish market. Anyway, it has an amber pour and has a mild aroma of hops and bready malt. It tastes sweet and light with mild bitterness. This brew is unremarkable, just a typical quaff. Not bad.
