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 Lichfield Vaults, Hereford, Saturday 7th July 2012 Bit gutted to arrive in Hereford only to find that the Festival had been cancelled just a hour or two earlier, flooded Grrrrrr.... Pours amber with slim white head, some fruitiness but predominantly its toffee with a little fizziness on the tongue and some bitterness. Served in good condition. Fine but no great shakes.

Cask. Copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, bitter grassyness along with some nutty, fruity and wooden notes. Flavour is quite similar in a nice balance. Also some slight resiny notes as it warms up a bit.

Cask in the Hand in Hand, Brighton. It pours amber, with a thin off-white head. The nose is hay, lemon, dough and dishwater. The taste is hay, lemon, lime, floral, dough, toasted malt and cereal. Medium body and soft carbonation. Easy going, if a bit unexciting.

Cask at the Waggon and Horses, Twyford. dark amber with a loose white head; biscuity malt aroma; soft and malty with a touch of caramel; and a dry, toasty, finish. A pleasant light bitter, in the malty Scottish style.

Pleasant aroma of sweet fruit and malt. Texture is thin. Quite a bland flavour. It lacks a bit of bitterness.
