Pint at Clachaig Inn draft. Clear gold with a medium heavy lacing white head. Nose is sweet red apples, Scotch whiskey, and a hint of oak,. Flavor is lightly sweet with a hint of tart apples, Scotch whiskey, and oak.Very nice with the single malt background. Probably will need a second pint rather than a lager beer rating.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Amber with a straw head. Tangy with its strawberry but very flavoursome at the same time.

Aroma is a very slate Ginger. Flavor is much more bold Apple Ginger sweet slightly pungent good Carbonic Tang. Good body and finish fairly straightforward. It's a ginger cider. It's not bad but nothing to write home about.
