A sweet malty beer with lots of toffee & caramel notes from the pale and crystal malts. Fresh dry hop taste comes from the challenger and goldings which also give a satisfying easy drinking bitter finish.

Keg at the Steamboat Inn, Carsethorn, near Dumfries. Dull amber with a thick off-white head and a light fizz. Thin body. Mild flavour, with dusty cardboard, A touch of caramel and wood. It's far from being the worst keg bitter that I've tried, but it's pretty poor.

Keg. Just a slight hoparoma. Malty flavor, light to medium bodied. Just a hint of hopbitterness, especially in the aftertaste. Slightly metallic and salty. Rather bland.
