Cask conditioned at the Halfway House, Edinburgh. Deep golden colour, moderate creamy head. Moderate aroma, some hops and malt vinegar. Hoppy flavour on a tolerable malty base, quite nice.

Amber beer, white head. Lightly zesty smell. Flavour is light tangy lemon, some dry hops and a surprisingly hefty malt flavour too. It's very light but it's decent enough. A bit of toffee comes through as you drink more as well. Somewhere between a bitter and an IPA I'd say.

Cask at Tam O Shanter, Dumfries. It pours clear golden - amber medium, foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, white bread, grass, sweet lemon, hay and some creaminess . The taste is crisp, clean, sweet lemon, grapefruit, grassy, biscuit, cereal with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Great condition, but ultimately a bit boring.

Cask at the Tam O’Shanter, Dumfries. Gold, clear, with a fairly tight white head. Metallic, Burton-y sulphur smell. Taste is a slightly fruity astringency, leading to intense dryness in the finish. Leaves, butter, citrus and banana notes. Ambitious but doesn’t really hit the mark.

Cask at The Other Place. Clear amber body with a tight off-white head. Sticky lacing. Aroma of grass and stewed tea. Flavour of bitter earth, blood orange and tannic tea. Medium body with an oily texture. Faint carbonation prickle. A very drinkable IPA with good bitterness.

On tap t Cafe Royal. Appearance - a dark golden with a nice head. Nose - unfortunately a little bit of butterscotch and then some astringent malt. Taste - more of the same. Some grapefruit eventually comes through. Palate - medium bodied with a lack of refreshment generally. Overall - not an IPA at least in the modern sense of the style.
