After another rehearsal for Cadenza’s Fringe Concert, some of the choir retired to the usual haunt of The Meadow Bar for a swift half. And since we were rehearsing for our Fringe show, it seemed like the natural thing to chose the guest ale alongside the usual Deuchars – another monthly guest ale from Caledonian brewed specifically for the festival.  It has the sweetness of Caledonian’s 80/-, but without the same robust taste.  A subtle taste of hops on the finish without overpowering the sweetness – characteristic of a traditional Scottish ale – provide a lovely, balanced pint that was very refreshing after a hard rehearsal of Mozart’s Mass in C minor.
