Keg at Hanging Bat. It pours hazy dirty orange with a small white head. The aroma is musty, hay, cereal, soft stone fruits, melon, green apple, raspberry ripple, vanilla custard, oak and custard creams. The taste is crisp, dry, slightly tart, white grape, white wine, tannin, musty, gooseberry, hint of sherbet, wood, hay, straw, grass and a fair bit of spice. Finish is pretty dry. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Interesting stuff.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. It pours cloudy bright red with a small white head. The aroma is bright, funky, musty, sour raspberry, jam, vinous, vanilla, oak and raspberry ripple. The taste is crisp, dry, a touch tart, raspberry, oaky, bit of tannin, leather, vinous, musty, peppery spice, hay and grass with a spicy finish. Light to medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice bright aroma, but the taste doesn't quite live up to it. Fun nonetheless.

On keg at Potter Row. Appearance - opaque black with an olive sheen. Thin fawn head. Nose - creamy chocolate and maybe some biscuit. Taste - loads of creamy chocolate and piles of strawberries. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. Elegant creamy finish. Overall - we've turned the corner with this one.

Bottle picked up in Edinburgh. It pours pinkish - blush with a hint of haze with a small white head. The aroma is sweet ripe blueberry, fruit compote, jam, berry yoghurt, sweat and funk. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, lactic, blueberry skin, apple skin, red grape, light sherbet, seltzer, pickled onion monster munch and some musty funk. Finish is dry and lightly tart. Light body and fine carbonation. The fruit is not quite as bright on the taste as I had hoped for. Pleasant and easy drinking, but lacks a bit of wow factor.
