Cask at Bree Louise. Amber coloured, very clear, with small white head. Aroma is sweet and grainy. Taste, same. Not very exciting.

Bottle from Andrewc and drunk at home. I do like a classic British brown best bitter. The question is, is this one of those? Looks good, chestnut colour and thick beige head. Well it's pretty good. It has a nutty maltiness that is very pleasing with light raisin. Light ale yeast aroma character. Then a lovely bit of malt. Rich and plum accented and raisin and sultana. Then a little nettle bitter hop on the finish. Loved it. A classic best bitter.

500ml Bottle - Amber in colour. Apricot, dates and a hint of spice in the aroma. Biscuity, fruity and slightly earthy taste with orange peel, earthy hops, sultanas and dried apricot.

Cask at the Anderson, Fortrose, 19/10/13. Clear dark amber with a moderate off white head. Nose carries a fruity tang, malts, classic twiggy affair. Taste comprises apple skins, bready malts, orchard fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry bitter finish. Mediocre old school bitter type thing ... yawn!

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of flowery hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and elderflowers.

Good........

(bottle) Hazy, chestnut-brown colour without head. Moderately sweet malty and fruity, slightly floral and woody hoppy aroma. Quite bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Dry and soft malty taste with an aromatic hops character with fruity and woody, also slightly floral accents; dry and moderately bitter hoppy finish. Balanced and quaffable stuff. 28.IV.10

Cask on 25th September 2009. Brown/amber with smoth thin white head, holding up well under brisk consumption. A pleasant malt backdrop paved the way for a sharp, hoppy burst that is perfectly balanced by the malt. The hop was grassy, not citric, and cheesy notes were detected. A long, ticklingly hoppy finish on a textured mouthfeel. A very pleasant surprise and one of the best beers I had drunk in the fortnight ending 25th Sept 2009.
