Asheville Pizza Scottish Ale

Serving: Draft. Appearance: Deep amber with a small, foamy, off white head. Pretty good head retention. Aroma: Very light nose. Green, herbal notes along with some over roasted notes. Taste: Malt forward with notes of caramel and toast. A very light bitterness helps to balance things. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light, slightly watery mouthfeel. Short finish. Overall: Lacking a little body, this one is thin on the tongue. Still, it comes across as a table beer that is highly sessionable. Rebuy: No, this one didn’t do much for me.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Pours a medium amber color with a medium head. Fair head retention and good lacing. Aroma is caramel and earthy, minty hops. Taste is caramel and earthy peat notes. Medium bodied.

Clear amber body. Sweet malt aroma. Doesn’t have the typical smoke qualities i’ve come to associate with this style. Some butter in the nose. Crystal sweet malt with some noble hop flavor. the aftertaste is a bit chlorinated? Reminds me more of an amber ale.
