Pelican MacPelicans Scottish Style Ale

Brewed by Pelican Pub & Brewery
Style: Scottish Ale
Pacific City, Oregon USA

Thanks to Skyview. Clear orange pour with no head. Nice nose consisting of an autumn aroma like a cool fall morning. Flavor profile included sweet malts along with some dark fruit and a touch of hop.

Thanks to Skyview for this hard to find beer. I was hoping for a Scotch, rather than a Scottish style ale. Malt in the aroma and flavor, along with an unprocessed grain flavor. A pleasant session beer.

Bottle. Aroma of very sweet, old earth, some leafy hops. Flavor follows suit. While nothing seemed "wrong" with the beer, for me, this very sweet, very old earth sort of beer is just not something I go for.

Bottle courtesy of bitbucket. Pours a clear red-orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malts, brown/maple sugar. Flavor of sweet malt, toasted caramel malt, maple sugar, light fruits (raspberry). Quite sweet, but tasty. Light-bodied. This is an ok beer but a little on the sweet side.

On tap as part of the sampler tray at the Brewery. Fairly light in flavor for a Scottish ale, but easy to appreciate. Toasted caramel is the predominate flavor. Just enough hops to clean it up. Very drinkable.

Draft @ KLCC Microbrew Festival: Pours a dark brown color with a smaller off-white head. Aroma is sweet with malts, caramel, and kind of sugary. A little hoppiness in the flavor is coved by the brown sugar and caramel sweetness. Some dark fruitiness too. Quite enjoyable.

Thanks to my friend Aaron Miles for the bottle of this gem--Poured a thin chestnut-mahogany-brown body with a nice medium-sized fluffy whitish head. Crisp roasted malt nose with sticky sweetness. Light yet chewy and with a caramelized smooth finish that is quite enjoyable. Here is another style of beer that I normally don’t go gaga over, but Pelican is a world class brewer who does great things with brew!

Bottle from Uber. Clear mahogony with medium head. Aroma of all roasted malt. Slight burnt malt taste with a lot of breadiness. Fairly sweet. Minimal hops. Very true to style.
