Cask @ Muckle Cross, Elgin.
Amber brown, clear, frothy white head, good lacing.
Aroma - hint of caramel malt and some faint grassy hops.
Taste of caramel malt, fruity, bitter grassy hop, bit spicy.
Palate - soft carb, finish of moderate bitter hop and light citrus tang that slowly fades.
Not a bad bitter. Just OK.

Bottle. Dirty amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has lemon, honey, butterscotch, biscuits. Rather thin. Biscuity malt, mild butterscotch, honey, lemon, a little earth and spice. Much more than a suggestion of honey. Decent citrus bitterness at the end. A little muddled but quite refreshing.

500ml bottle from Centra Colosseum in Oslo. Shared with Finn. The foamy head is white as chalk and lasts for a while. Cloudy, orange-amber body. Smell of biscuit malts. Slightly roasted grain in flavour with caramel hints coming through. Dry bitter endnotes. Medium bodied. Nothing to get too excited about (Tromsø, 18.02.2009).
