Cask-conditioned at Blackfriars, Glasgow 18/06/10. Amber coloured with a slight white head. Sweet, caramel aroma with some summer fruits. Flavour was similarly sweet and malty, with a touch of citrus hop, mineral edge and moderately bitter finish. Ok.

From cask at the McCallums. Pours clear and vague cola brown/orange with a small off-white head. Mild roasted aroma with a light fruity note showing through, light spiced hops presence in aroma and flavour. Flavour is bitter and light fruity to a mild malt base. Ends biter and slight acidic to citric.
