Brewed with three different varieties of hop and a multitude of malts, Caledonian 80/- has hidden depths. Satisfying and timeless, this beer is the essence of Scotland in a glass.
The definitive classic 80/- ale: full-bodied, complex malt and hop flavours, dry but spicy. Characterised by a superb creamy head and hoppy finish

(bottle) Clear, chestnut-brown colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Mildly toasty malty aroma with caramel, nutty notes, accompanied by slightly fruity and woody hops. Slightly sweet and bitter flavour, light bodied with a modest carbonation. Delicately nutty toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel and a tinge of fruity hops; slim and mildly toasty and fruity finish with notes of caramel and berries in the aftertaste. Slim but likeable Bitter. 11.II.13

Canette 500ml. De couleur ambrée et très légèrement voilée. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de caramel terreux avec des notes de noix rôties, de fumée de cigarette, de houblon floral et herbeux. Plutôt mince en bouche et peu pétillante avec une texture très légèrement crémeuse et aux notes aqueuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle aux notes rôties avec un très léger goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un léger goût de caramel aux notes terreuses et d’un léger goût de biscuits puis en finale s’entremêle des notes de houblon floral et herbeux, de fumée de cigarette et de noix. Post-goût moyen et très légèrement sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes rôties, herbeuses et de noix.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown amber colour, foamy off-white head that diminshes and a roast malt aroma. A rich burnt roast malt taste balanced with hints of fruit and a dry hop bitter finish. Smooth mouth feel. Quite OK.

Cask in a few different places over the years. Sweet nose, bittersweet taste, although no real flavours to speak of.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 30.04.2012
Aroma is sweet and somewhat stale with toffee, goldings hops and nuts. Flavour is sweet with toffee, nuts, and caramel. Palate is rather rich for a 4,1% ABV beer. A bitter with scotch ale feeling.

Has a soft malt & plant aroma. Body is copper-gold with an okay head. Flavour is coffee and nuts, with heavy barley notes. Mouthfeel is weak however. It could be great if the palate was stronger, but instead it’s just good.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Gold with a tight cream head; bicuity malt aroma; sweet biscuity malt flavour with a smooth grainy body; then a sweet finish with the faintest trace of hops.

Bottle from Tesco.
Light brown, medium frothy white head which dissipates to a thin layer, reasonable lacing.
The nose is dark caramel malt, hint of spicy hops, yeast, that Caley popcorny malt, sweet, hint of toffee, easy drinking.
Palate - soft carb, quite sweet, dull finish same as main flavour, smooth.
OK Scottish ale...easy drinking.
