Caledonia Smooth

Big Nasty · 2012-03-09 15:09:38

New beer being launched by Bulmers later this month. Will only be available to the on-trade apparently. Described as 'Triple hop with a smooth finish'. I'm sure it's been tested in a couple of pubs already - anyone had it?

I was in Fade Street Social at the weekend and they're serving this as "Fade Street Ale". It's not bad, maybe a bit plain. As someone said above, it could be a nice summer alternative to Guinness

If you go to any bar worth its salt, I would expect it to have a lot more than Caledonia Smooth as alternatives to Guinness.

Bland taste, fits alongside the normal Guinness and Smithwicks stuff you'd find on tap. Slightly more refreshing texture. Extremely forgettable, inoffensive and unnecessary two-part pour.
