Tap@Clockwork. Copper brown color, good off-white creamy head. Slightly toasted butterscotch and mild hops in the nose. Chocolaty, roasted malty flavor - some in the aftertaste. Some sweetness there too. Solid example of Scottish style.

Bottle picked up in Sainsbury’s. Poured a very pale yellow colour, very clear and with bubbly white head. Aroma initially citric which was also noticeable in the taste. Found this to be crisp and refreshing but overall not that exciting.

Bottle brought over from Leeds, England, by a friend of mine. Bought in a special beer shop in Leeds.Light brown color. Small white head. My bottle was over carbonated, errupted and played volcano one second after being opened. A bit wine like scent. Starts of with a bit burnt taste, turns to cream and butterscotch, ends a bit acid. Very low bitterness. Might be the original volcano thing, bu twas now pretty much without carbondioxide and flat/stale.I’d call it complex but not balanced.

Cask gravity dispense at Red Lion, Isleworth. Copper, thin white head. I really quite like the hops on this. Bit earthy/bit of citrus. Yeah good enough flavours. Not crystal clear

An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is lovley hoppy - I’m thinking East Kent Goldings. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and hops. Only drawback is, that the body is thin.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a light yellow head. The aroma is sweet flowery, while the flavor is very lemony and slightly malty. A very fresh beer - very easily drinkable, but a little too much lemon for me, for it to be great.

Bottle. Golden, lovely hop nose (cascades?) but then unfortunately not a lot else. Dry fairly intense hop finish but no real depth

Cask. Amber colour, small head. VERY hoppy aroma. Dry-hopped like f***? Smells like pure hops. Very aromatic, piney hop flavour. Nice.
