Commercial Description:
Cask: Regular. The bottled version has a separate listing.
Brewed with lager malt and Hersbrücker and Challenger hops. Fermented with a lager yeast, but treated in every other way as a cask ale, save for a week or two of cool conditioning prior to release.
Named after the misty mountain near Pitlochry. Has won numerous awards as a cask conditioned beer, including three times gold winner at the Great British Beer Festival.

Cask (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Real Ale Festival 2006) Golden, small head. Starts pleasant, citrusy and fruity. Alas something lagery takes over and makes it just a bit , erm, lagery.

Nice golden appearance with only a small amount of head. Lager-esque aroma, quite zesty and hoppy. Flavour was somewhere between a continental lager and a British golden ale, hoppy flavours as well as some citric ones. The slightest aftertaste of yeast-extract. Pretty good.

A Mes rate: Cask at Chelmsford Beer Festival. Reasonably tasty cask lager. Quite dark in colour considering. Malty underpinnings topped with flowery hops. Not bad.

reslly interested in the whole cask lager concept. never tried anything like this before. It was a very pleasant surprise from a cracking brewery. golden orange colour with a small rocky head. Continental pilsener aroma with hops, citrus fruits and a tiny sulphery quality coming through. Nice full body, flavours benefit from the light carbonation. Nice crisp clean slightly bitter finish. Will try the bottled version soon too.
