Inveralmond Ossian Ale (Bottled)

Bottled sample. Gold in colour with fairly strong and spritzy carbonation. Aromas are of white grapefruit, black pepper, pale malts, and dry leaves. More of a grapefuit and orange combo in the mouth, along with more spice and caramel arriving mid-sip. Some floral and very mild fruity UK yeast notes on the back end. Mineral and leafy dry on the finish. Medium to light bodied. Very fresh tasting. Way closer to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale than you might expect from a 4.1 % abv beer from Scotland.

(bottle - 500 ml) Light gold in color with a fizzy white head. A decent amount of citrus and malt in the aroma with a mild floral and peppery hop hint. Flavor is spicy and citrusy at the beginning with a mild malt middle and a lightly bitter and peppery hop finish. A bit cloying but rather drinkable.

Pours pale golden with a white head.Some citrus and peach from the hops,little grain and some fruitiness in the aroma.Fruity and bitter flavor.Clean and drinkable.Ok beer.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Edinburgh. Amber with a loose, fast-fading, white head; slightly spicy, orange aroma; fruity orange flavour with sticky sweet malts; clean bitter finish.

500 ml bottle from my friend in Aberdeen! Nose is nice flowery hops and light grassiness. Lightly hazy yellow with a medium, pale yellow head. Flavor is lightly sweet corn with a slight buttery hint.

22 July at Cardinal. Pale golden. Sweet. Aroma of flowers. Not a big favorite of this one.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pale golden colour, white head. The brew has some sweet malts and floral hops. Soft finish.

Bottle thanks to Rciesla. Eh not a huge fan. Alcohol content is low, flavor isn’t great or full, not much aroma to speak of.
