Keg at The Hanging Bat. Hazy straw coloured body with a thick white head that holds well and leaves lots of sticky lacing marks. Aroma of lemon meringue, grass and yeast. Very sharp lemon sherbet flavour, verging on sour. Melon and pineapple in there too. Dry, tangy finish. Barely a hint of its 7.4% ABV. Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Lively carbonation. A sharp, summery, citric Saison. It’s too sour to be sessionable, but it’s really tasty and interesting.

Cask(@Craft Beer Clerkenwell):Golden to deepgolden, a bit unclear, small but very stable loose white head, exotic fruits and flowery hops in the nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied but soft; slightly lingering sweetish-bitter fruity (exotic…) and hoppy finish. Pretty good…

Keg @ Hanging Bat, Edinburgh [240813]
Black, thin ruby edges, thin tan head, some lacing
Aroma of dark caramel malts, soft roast, dab of brown bread, slight fruity zest underneath
Taste of dark caramel malts, mellow roast, touch of dark fruits, hint of herbal hop, bit spicy, some zesty hop in there, quite a hoppy stout crossing a bit into black IPA territory, maybe fruity coffee, not sure of the overall flavour though
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, smooth texture. Palate a bit unbalanced. Finish as main flavour, dry, fairly bitter fruity burnt roast, bit too dry
