Bottle from Sainsburys. A special for the rugby world cup. Reddish-brown color with a decent off-white head that proved long lasting. Carbonation was moderate. Aroma of red fruit with a whiff of hops. Flavour was of fruity malt with a decent hoppy finish. Not bad for a pasteurised beer.

Bottle from Peckhams, Glasgow. Gold with thick white head. Without doubt the best cask conditioned lager in Britain. Even in a pasteurised bottle it is superb. The crispness of the Hersbrucker hops is good, slightly leafy. Lovely creamy hoppy herby aroma. Actually excellent. Bit of yeast on aroma, wheat gives it a wide mouthfeel.

Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Black, small white head. Aroma of coffee and tar. Sweet and very malty, reeks of freshly ground coffee. Full bodied with notes of plums. Softly poerful and really good.

Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Deep golden. Grassy and lightly buttery. Fairly sweet with medium body. Slightly hopier than your average Scottish cask ale, and also with a tad more bitterness.

A tasty lager, I thought it was a bitter. Low carbonation and considerable malt as well as a lightly bitter flavor. There is a hint of lemon in the aroma, and a bitter finish.

Cask conditioned at The Cask & Barrel, Edinburgh. Not in the very best condition, and served slightly too warm. Deep golden colour, creamy head. Nice zesty and fruity hop aroma, but should be even better. Distinctly hoppy flavour throughout, but not quite as zesty as it should be in its best condition.
