Corner pub by one of the tram stops. Central bar serves several rooms. Really good feel of a boozer. We had both beers from handpull and cellar runs in the jug too. A real classic pub.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Little Ale Cart - Midlothian4.00ExcellentPale gold, thin white head. An elderflower type golden ale, good to drink. Very suppable. One of the better golden ales. Really very impressive from a brew pub.
Little Ale Cart - Green Arrow5.00ExcellentClear gold, thin white head. Really good aroma, sauvin and simcoes shine through. Its full in mouth. Great hops on finish.
Salamander - Porcupine Porter4.80AcceptableVery dark brown, verging on black, thin tan head. Decent porter, bit thin on the choc, it’s ok but could be a lot better
Little Ale Cart - Archibald Sturrock4.30AcceptableClear gold, thin off white head. It’s ok, a bit of rose petal, bit of hop on the finihs. Fine, if a little dull.
Cannon Royall (located in White Rabbit) - Hopsters Choice4.00PoorGold, no head. Bit of diacetyl. Not great. Really quite poor. Some hop on end.
