Brewed with three different varieties of hop and a multitude of malts, Caledonian 80/- has hidden depths. Satisfying and timeless, this beer is the essence of Scotland in a glass.
The definitive classic 80/- ale: full-bodied, complex malt and hop flavours, dry but spicy. Characterised by a superb creamy head and hoppy finish

Draft. Pours a nice creamy brown with toffee and caramels to taste. Very good, and very well done for my $.

Cask at The Crown Inn, Berkshire. As "Edinburgh Castle". Aroma is malty, caramel, lots of toffee, a bit buttery. Flavour is almost moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is light to medium. Quite dull malty toffee ale, not for me.

18 March 2019. At George IV, Edinburgh. Shared with the lovely Anke! As 'Edinburgh Castle (Cask)'. Pours clear amber with a lasting, foamy, tan head; lots of lacing. Aroma of toast, biscuit, toffee, mocha, peanut, pistachio, raisin. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, notes of caramel & biscuit but not overly sugary, a tad nutty; light grainy bitter then, toasty too with herbal & grassy tones, vague dried fruits in the back. Dryish, grassy & herbal hoppy finish, lingering biscuit, toffee, nuts. Light to medium body, slick texture, soft to flat carbonation. Not that complex, of course, but I thought it smelled inviting and it's agreeable to drink.

Half pint, gravicask at London Stadium before the match between West Ham and Arsenal. Bubbles on the surface, dotted spots on the glass, close to clear dark brown-reddish body. Smell of slightly roasted malts. Malt-driven flavours of earth, grain and distant dark fruits. Mid-sweet malty ending. Easy to drink. Quite alright on a football stadium. (London 12.01.2019).

Half pint served at a perfect temperature at Cask & Barrel, Edinburgh. Clear, amber body under a white, lacing-head. Rather discreet floral-malty aroma. Caramel malts in flavour, becoming gradually more bitter towards the ending. Foamy in the mouth (23.10.2008).

Red color with tan head that laces down the glass. Nice balance of sweet caramel flavor with hop bitterness with a slight wood or smoke taste.

Cask at the Hope and Champion, Beaconsfield. Poured a clear dark amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty, dry hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a sweet malt, yeasty, light medicinal woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Coming to the end of the cask I believe.

Cask at the Ledger Building, Canary Wharf, 23/01/16 as ’Edinburgh Castle’. Golden with a moderately appointed off white covering that thins to spotting. Nose is straw, airy malts, faint citric rinds, caramel. Taste comprises pale malts, bread dough, light orange, grains. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Mediocre offering, lacks any real flavour.

Fra cask på Olde White Harte Hull 26 Nov 11 som "Edinburgh Castle". Dyp mørk amber. Lavt tett skum. Forsiktig maltaroma. Smaken lett maltig. Karamell & papp. Tørr avslutning. Et bra øl med gjennomført maltpreg.

Halvpint, servert i plastglass på Alexandra Palace Bar (under navnet Alexandra Palace Ale), sammen med Steven: mørk ravgylden med kort skum, syrlig aroma og en halvsur bærsmak som tyder på at den hadde stått for lenge på fatet.
