Cask at the Craft. Opaque black - brown beer. Little tan head. Light palate, semi dry and low carbonation. Starts with a trace of apple and pear followed by good toffee. Light red berry fruits. Mild smoke. FInishes semi dry and tangy. Quite a fruity smoked porter. The apple and pear taste like natural bi products rather than the beer being green. Very nicely done.

Cask at the Craft. Light haze on this pale gold beer. Little white head. Smooth palate, dry and a little silky. Mild citrus fruits. Smooth orange with a whisper of tropical fruits. Quite a dry finish but smooth as well.

Cask at the Craft. Clear amber beer, tidy off white head. Light palate, fairly dry. Nice malts - a light presence but with dark characteristics and a whisper of smoke. Mild but juicy hops that are a little orange - lemon citrus. Finishes dry with a mildy smoky malt aftertaste.

Cask @ The Caley, Edinburgh 150612
Rich amber orange, clear, bit of a frothy head
Aroma - Rich caramel orangey malts, juicy malts, far less hops on the nose than the taste
Taste - Sweet fruity malts, candy sugars, barley sugar, bit of golden syrup, scorched sugars, bit too much orangey sweet malts for me, citrus hops, some spicy notes, unusual bitter spicy notes in there, do like it the more you have
Palate - soft carb, med body, rather viscous and oily. Finish - bitter lingering hoppy....long linger
Overall - A good IPA but a bit sweet

Light haze on this amber beer. Tidy white head. Light dry palate. Mild mellow citrus hops. Fairly dry finish, vaguely woody. Okay but a bit dry and mellow.

Cask at CBC, London. Pours pale yellow with a fine, white foam head. Ripe citrus nose. Medium sweet flavor with some lemon, fructose, mango, moderate straw bitterness and lemon rind. Light in body with fine carbonation. Sticky sweet finish with some doughy, biscuity malts, lots of juicy citrus, some mild grass and straw. Sweet but highly drinkable.

On tap @ the Caley Sample Room tap takeover. Pours a charcoal/black colour with a thin fawn head. The nose is biscuity, smokey and there is a liquorice note. There is more of the same on the taste. The palate has a medium body and a creamy texture with a clean but balanced finish. Overall, best beer I’ve tried from Redwillow.

On tap @ the Caley Sample Room for Redwillow tap takeover. Pours opaque black with a thin creamy head with a fawn middle to it. The nose has liquorice and chocolate. The taste has more liquorice and dark chocolate with just a hint of cream, but not much. The palate is medium bodied and texture with a slightly too astringent finish. Overall, this seems like a dry stout in style to me. It’s good but a little too astringent, I think.

On tap @ the Caley Sample Room. Pours golden with a decent head. The nose has toffee and biscuits. More toffee and biscuits with perhaps a little spice on the taste. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a dry finish and reasonably balanced. Overall, a solid ale.
