Apr 12, 2009 Pours orange-amber with a small head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is vaguely of honey. Flavor is slightly hoppy and actually quite boozy for the purported 5%. Palate was mediocre. Simple, but I liked it. Overall, good

Apr 4, 2009 Trader Joe’s. The nice thing about Trader Joe’s beers is that I have had very few of them, so my wife usually grabs one to take home to me, knowing it is about the only way she can typically find a brew I haven’t had before. Which is cool. Deep gold or light amber, take your pick, quite clear, decent head faded away entirely. Aroma of buttered bread and earthy hops. Flavor is sweet, bready malts, a bit of honey, butter, and earthy hops very faintly on the finish. More of a light end of the Scottish Ale spectrum than a golden or blonde. Not bad, drinkable, but not great. The diacetyl might be a bit much for some folks.

Apr 3, 2009 Pour is a clear bright orange with almost no head. Aroma is a poor grain with some sickly malts. Flavor is wet paper bag with some dirty malts. Bought as Trader Joes Organic Great Scot for $2.99. Nothing good about this one.

Mar 15, 2009 Bottle from the Trader Joe’s in Orland Park, IL: Nice pour, a deep golden body with a two-fingered head and modest lacing. The aroma is bready and grainy with a dollop of honey and some drying grass bitterness. It tastes of honeyed bread with an herbal/grassy bitterness. Crisp finish, slightly dry. A good sessionable beer.
