Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Golden pour with a foamy white head. Toasty malt aroma with light hay. Lightly sweet flavor, baked bread, faint lemon citrus. Light in body with fine carbonation. Ok balance to finish, faint sourness to the malts and grassy, lingering hops. Average at best.

@ Theatre Royal, Edinburgh. Golden. 2cm head. Slightly mushroomy and only the vaguest of herbal notes. The aroma is slightly toasty. Oversparkled so the most of what I get is mild nuttiness.
