Cask @ Standing Order, Edinburgh 271112
Orange amber, thick pillowy white head, very good lacing
Aroma - staleish malts, bit mineraly, off aromas, bit eggy
Taste - caramel malts, cereals, dull fruity malts, little spicy, some odd plasticy off note, not a great flavour
Palate - medium body. Finish as main flavour
Overall - Just came across as mediocre and left half of my beer - wasn’t working for me, condition possibly suspect here

50cl bottle from Waitrose. Golden amber with a scummy ring of white head; aroma of orange and malt; sweet fruity flavour with more orange and some stewed malts - with that typical jamminess that comes from over-pasteurisation; and a citrus orangey finish with an uncomfortable hoppy bitterness.

Half pint, cask at The Alexander Graham Bell (JDW) in Edinburgh. Tiny, white head that stays well atop of a clear, copper body. Aroma is mid-sweet, malt-fruity. Sweet bready malts in flavour conjoined by sweet fruits and followed by a spiced bitter ending. Likable, 30.11.2010.
