For coming from overseas, and in a bottle, this is a really good Scottish ale. Quite hard to believe actually.

A clear moderate brown color with white head. Aroma had a bit of roast flavor. A very smooth medium-bodied malty taste made this one very easy to drink. Little to no caronbation make it even better. I really can’t complain about this beer at all.

[bottle from tesco] Aroma is malty, some sweet caramel. very thin body, finish just sort of drops away to nothing. bland stuff.

I find this beer hard to fault, as its better than most of the belhaven range. Aroma is slightly minimal though some malt character kicking through. Taste is More going to the hops, though maybe a little under hopped. Alright for a 3% ale.

Good flavoursome beer! Soft sweet roasted malt on the nose and also on the palate. Not the classic pale ale I remember, but still good stuff. Asda. I agree the cask version is better, but where can you find it these days?
