Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA

Pale copper, thin white head. Distinctive hop citric aroma, thin in mouth with a bit of caramel, bit watery. Not the best pint of this that I've had. Some citrus hop on end.
In Earl Street, entering through the front door there is a room at the front with the bar to the right serving 6 handpumps then a couple of rooms off to the left and at the back. Interesting lights about the bar. Popular with musicians and bikers. Was a Hogshead for a while before reverting to its original name.
