Draught at the Kilmartin Hotel. Pours a hazy golden colour with a decent head which stays. The nose has honey and pale malt. The taste has toffee and pale malt. The palate is not bad- medium in structure and texture with an almost clean finish. Overall, a decent ale.

On cask @ Bon Accord, Glasgow. Clear yellowish. Skunky aroma, rotten hops. Buttery. Horrible. Beer has probably been too long on tap without being served. Seen quite often on the british isle im afraid.

Cask@GBBF2007. Yellow colour, big creamy white head. Aroma is herbs, hoppy fruits and some vegetables. Flavour is very wooden, hoppy (flowery and fruity) along with grass and slight burnt notes. Leaves a nice wooden and flowery flavour in the aftertaste.
