Experience the best of everything with """"""""the cream of Scottish beer"""""""". Its light creamy head with lacing to the bottom of the glass gives you a taste that’s refreshing and moreish with a hint of hop.

pours a light brown witha creamy lasting head. slight hoppyness in the nose with slight roasted malt accents, something artificial and cardboardy comes through in the taste.

Draught at the Charlotte Room. Never had this in the bottle or can but it’s quite enjoyable on draught. Pours orange with a large creamy white head. Head is long lasting. Looks nice. Aroma of malty caramel and flowery hops...I can’t quite put my finger on it but it smells good. Nice creamy palate. A great summer beer and one of the best cream ales I’ve had.

Draft, this is basicly the same as most of the scotish draft ales, mcewans, tennants whatever. No taste to be found anywhere, though maybe a good thing as u can have about 40 and not be too wrecked.

’The cream of Scottish beers.’ Indeed. But not really. Served extra cold, and was tenable, but certainly a bit bland. The bagpiping I heard in the background whilst drinking it helped spice it up.

440ml nitro can. Served in a Sam Smith pint glass. Pours clear amber with the big creamy nitro head. Nice malty caramel aroma. Flavor is mild malty caramel. Smooth and creamy, almost like chocolate milk. Slightly bitter finish. Great session beer with only 3.9% ABV you can drink this like iced tea until your eyes bug out. Most will want a beer with more heft but I found it to be an enjoyable lightweight. Picked up a 4pack at the local Albertson’s grocery for $6.49

Canned version. Light brown, with a lasting medium white head. Aroma of light crystal malt, which carries over into the flavor. Silky feel. If you like the smell and taste of fresh malted barley, this is pretty good.

Can. Pours an orange/amber color. Thick foamy white head. Creamy, grainy draftflow aroma. Creamy mouthy mouthfeel. Flavor is pretty malty. Bitter finish with a bit of a sweet milky flavor. A tad watery, but still pretty good.
