Commercial Description:
Bottled (pasteurised).
NOTE: Onlty ratings for the bottled version here. The cask version has a separate entry.
Three Sisters Scottish Ale (4.2% abv) is a dark, fruity, refreshing ale that proves a perennial favourite, and is named after the dramatic range of mountains in Glencoe.
Chocolate Malt helps to give this beer its very attractive dark ruby colour, as well as contributing to some of the toasty and liquorice flavours in the beer.
However, a very large charge of whole-flower hops balances the dark malt character with an abundance of hop fruit flavours. These include dried and fresh fruit flavours as well as some more citrus tones not normally found in such a dark beer.
There’s enough ‘going on’ in Three Sisters to keep even the most demanding real ale aficionado happy, whilst the very approachable fruit makes this a popular drink across the board.

50cl bottle, slightly different from the one pictured (no dent in the lower part). Pours a deep, clear copper with a huge, soapy off-white head. Great retention, generous lacing. Aroma of toasted malt, dried prunes and hops. Light-bodied Scottish "red ale" with active carbonation - tickly, earthy mouth feel. Could be a little less watery IMHO. Roasted, but not bready malt dominates, with a hint of black currant. Agreeably bitter, dry hoppy finish. Very mildly bitter after taste. Not a complex beer. A straightforward ale, highly sessionable due to the refreshing hops and light body. And better than some other "red ales" I’ve tried so far.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber to hazzlenut brown with a small tan head. Aroma is sweet caramelish and somewhat butterish. Sweet malt flavoured, light liqourice note and light citrusy touch. Subdued spiced note. Ends medium dry and bitter.

Bottle, 4.2%. Slightly buttery aroma, hint of aroma hops. Clear brown colour. Very small head. The flavour is malty and slightly teaish. Seems like a teaish hoppiness with a little bite in the finish. I still get a little butter, not much, but it is a bit disturbing.

(bottle) Clear, dark amber colour with a mid-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Roast-malty aroma with notes of liquorice, ginger spice and citrus-fruity hops. Slightly bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Toasty malty and moderately fruity taste with notes of caramel and liquorice; malt-accented, slightly fruity and spicy hoppy finish. Aromatic brew. 03.XI.09
