Full-flavoured ruby beer combing the best of Scottish barley and English hops, profoundly malty in aroma and flavours but balanced with a raisiny spiciness and toasty dryness. Distinctive fresh, slightly citrus tang with a rich finish.

Cask at Christian Firtal. Hazy amber with a small white head. Malty aroma with toffee and grain and a faint fruity note. Dry and malty flavour with a grainy touch, and a somewhat unpleasant tannic, possibly roasted dryness, along with a faint hoppy finish

Super looking golden ale with large creamy head. More of a regular bitter when drank but has a decent body and a fair bit of flavour in its bitterness.

500ml bottle - pours a nice chestnut brown with a white head, a lovely malty aroma, with a fruity nose there too. A bit spicy, with a decent mouthfeel, and a citrusy bitter after taste. Not bad this one.
