On tap at the Alibi Room, pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma is very subtle / almost non-existent - light hops and cereal malt. Flavour is pretty unadventurous - cereal, grains and light hops. Nothing offensive, but nothing here really.

650mL bottle, split with Matts_Property, pours a flat golden with an almost non-existent head (unusual for the style). Aroma of sweet apples, sugar cane, bubblegum and yeast. Flavour is quite yeasty, with coriander, apples, pear, bubblegum and candied sugar. Sort of a vanilla and marshmallow-like finish. Palate is a little thin and lacking robustness. Solid, though unremarkable.

2011-04-08, bottle 1 year old, 7-4-6-3-13=33
Hazy amber color; generous head. Quite nice aroma of English yeast, a bit cheesy. Too much carbonation (well, the age for sure), with a simple caramel flavor, the mouthfeel is quite dry; the bitterness is strong enough, but the character comes from the yeast. Pleasant, to be tried fresh.
2011-03-10, cask at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as Spinnaker’s English Bitter, 6-4-7-3-13=33
Amber color, clean; frothy head. Light caramel aroma, a bit metallic. Caramel flavor, quite good, with a sharply dry mouthfeel, a bit astringent in the end, but still quite soft; correct bitterness. Good session beer.

Cask at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as Spinnakers Scottish Ale
Cloudy dark amber color; no head. Mild aroma, some caramel, some apples. Very low carbonation, lean body, light caramel flavor, sweetish; light apples; the final has a weak astringency too. Not much Scottish, probably with a minor flaw, but still an acceptable session beer.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow, white head. Light citric, strawlike aroma. A hint tartness, acidity complements the citric notes well, light spices retronasal. Light, yet chewy body. Fresh, perfect after a run.
