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.

Light golden with a creamy head. The aroma is lovely floral and fruity (mainly citrus) notes on herbal, grassy fondation. Light refreshing flavour with a certain betterness to balance the floral and fruity notes. Fresh but not lingering palate. Tasted cask conditioned on several occasions in Sweden

You wouldn’t guess that it is actually a lager. It has the typical hoppy nose of a really good cask conditioned ale and a fantastic complex palate. Only the colour seems to give it away.

Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Golden colour with creamy white head, and excellent lacing. Aroma is dry fruity. Flavour is....well, elderflower hit me initialy, slightly citrus, astringent and smooth. Very good.

Cask at County Hotel, JDW Ashford. If only all lager was like this. A worthy beer to be my 300th. Golden beer with citrus and tropical fruit aromas, carbonated in the mouth and a bit sherberty but it leads to a nice dry finish with nettle hop. Excellent beer

Cask at Charlies. Very very nice. Pours golden with a small head. Really refreshing with notes of hops, fruits, spices and pines.

A deep golden honey coloured beer, likened to that of sweet white wine. Has a weak white head. A light, fruity aroma of citrusy hops with some malt towards the end. The taste is dry. bitter and hoppy. The hops give the flavour a zesty citrus, grapefruit like element, then the malt comes through, smooth and biscuity sweet. The finish is dry and hoppy. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk

This is the lager by which EVERY other lager has to be judged. Light straw colour, lovely fruity hop nose with clean malts and a complex palate. Dry, citrus aftertaste which lingers. Very little carbonation and served cool, which allows the full delicious flavour to come through. Carlsberg take note: this is DEFINITELY the best lager in the world.

Cask: This is a lager? Great sweet fruitiness at the front like eldeberry. Definitely adds a Scottish feel to this classic style.
