Mar 13, 2005 Poured amber with off white head. Aroma was slight alcohol. but again, nothing great hear. Taste was better than the scotch, but barely.

Mar 12, 2005 Great amber color, interesting mouthfeel with carbonation that is more champagne-like than beer like. Dry with a bitter finish. But nothing special.

Mar 12, 2005 The beer dispenses the 500ml brown bottle a clear deep brown with a modest sized semi-creamy light tan head that dissolves rather quickly leaving a fine coating of lace upon the glass. Nose is sweet malt with light hints of peat, fresh and delightful to the senses, start is somewhat sweet with a light malt presence and a fair to middling top. Finish is pleasantly acidic and the hops delicate in their spiciness, quite dry and somewhat tart aftertaste, a nice session beer in my humble opinion.

Mar 7, 2005 12 oz. brown, longneck bottle. No freshness date seen anywhere. Poured out the color of iced tea. Very little head, what was there was soapy & white. Aromas are of caramel malts, slight soapiness, and some earthy, musty aromas as well. Thin body, not much mouthfeel. Sweet finish to it. Not the best Scottish ale I ever had.

Mar 3, 2005 This is quite similar to Belhaven’s Scottish Ale. This beer is stronger, both in aroma and in flavor and intensity, but I find this to be to the brew’s detriment. It has the aroma of a very strong beer, but goes a bit too far, with a rancid edge to it. The flavor is about the same, it would be good if it was just dialed back a little. I found it to be like the standard Belhaven, taken to 120%. The problem is, that extra 20% only hurts what is otherwise an excellent ale. So I’ll just stick to plain ol’ Belhaven, and I recommend that you do the same.

Mar 1, 2005 Bottled:
Light malty, light sourly aroma, notes of sherry. Bronze color. Fresh flavor, light fruity, light bodied. Short dry end. Maybe for golfers.

Feb 26, 2005 Good head and lacing, reddish brown clear ale. Aroma of roasted malts very present. Smooth caramelly taste I like this beer. Finished dry with a touch bitter will have to get more.

Feb 25, 2005 What a unusual beer! It smells like fresh mowed grass, and has a bit of that taste as well. Very refreshing on a hot day. Almost puts you on the golf course...
