Commercial Description:
Ardnave Ale is a dry, thirst quenching, hoppy bitter. Brewed using mainly pale malt, a small amount of crystal malt adds just that little bit of extra character. A high hopping rate, using Golding, Mount Hood, Fuggle and Styrian Goldings give this beer a real thirst quenching dry character.

500ml bottle from Moffat Woolen Mill. A tasty brew. Pale coloured with some foamy carbonation. Yeasty notes. English hop bitterness - lacking in fragrance, but with a healthy rough rasping edge. Citric notes, and a hint of sourness that never materialises. Faint chocolate notes. Good thirst quenching ale.
