On tap at the Lumsden. Pours hazy peach orange colour. Grapefruit, pine, mango, sticky dank stuff, touch herbal, little chalk, sweet fruit finish. Good soft body as always. Not the high mark of the series but another solid brew.

On handpull at Galbraith's. Pours deep orange brown with an off white head that sticks around. Hazelnuts, biscuit, blackberry, bit of chocolate, bread, touch of orange, bit of a milky sweet thing. Lovely soft body with low carbonation. As far as I can remember, this is the first McLeod's cask beer I've had, and I really hope they do more.
