Feb 27, 2008 I’m a big fan of this brew. Along with Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter, one of the beers that makes me proud to be from NC. Smells like it will be sweet, but malty and generously hoppy as well. Very easy to drink. If I’m in for a binge session, this is the one I’ll have around for the last 3 beers of the night....

Feb 23, 2008 Pours a clear amber caramel with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of tangy citrus, caramel and malt. Taste is tangy with notes of citrus, and malty caramel. Not bad.

Feb 20, 2008 As the Scooter would have said, HOLY COW!!! Beautiful color, intense aroma and full bodied. I could not beleive the perfect blend of malt and hops. Fantastic I will definitely be drinking many more of these.

Feb 5, 2008 On draft at the brewery. Highland’s flagship I guess... malt flavors mostly, with some cascade thrown in. Considering this is the basic ale from the largest microbrewery (if it can still be called that) in Asheville, not a bad standard to have on hand. Most anyone could enjoy this beer. Also had a sample of the cask Gaelic they had at the brewery they were experimenting with- it was significantly better in all categories... it would have rated a 4.2

Jan 31, 2008 Bottle from my secret santa, thanks! Nice amber colored pour, off-white head. Brown sugar and citrusy hop aroma. Malty and also enough hop flavor and bitterness to keep things interesting. Slightly astringent finish keeps this from getting a higher flavor rating for me. Nice medium mouthfeel. Very nice, well done amber ale. Thx Santa!

Jan 27, 2008 A red ale with a touch of roasted malt that makes it on the Scottish heritage given Highland’s theme. It’s in the aroma, and the aroma gives off a booziness far behind its ranking. Quite malty and medium plus mouthfeel, with hop bitterness rounding off the finish.Reddish brown colour with white foam covering.
