Aug 30, 2000 Updated: May 10, 2003I think I have sampled at least 4 or 5 beers that call themselves “Kilt Lifters”, well in my humble opinion, Pike’s is the best. Also why is it so hard to find a “Good” Scotch Style Ale?
A beauteous orange to amber color, the head prodigious in size, creamy in texture, a nice light tan in color and the residual lace a thick and sticky sheet to meld with the glass. Sweet malt is the nose, fresh and inviting, the start ambrosial, malt laden, and the top rich in its feel to the palate. Finish has a delectable acidity, the hops spicy and pleasant, dry aftertaste and a real treat.

Jul 26, 2003 The deep copper color and great head was even further enhanced by the complex blend of hops and malt that first hits your tongue and rolls down with a smooth smoky finish. A favorite for me!

Jun 21, 2003 This one had a deep copper color with a good thick head. It was full bodied and flavorful, yet well balanced. All in all, a good brew.

Aug 2, 2009 Bomber from Barrios’ Massechussetts Trip Tasting. Pours a near clear orange with faint ring of near white head. Aroma is mild, bready, with sweet dried fruits. Great peaty smokiness in the flavor with some molassis. Great smokey beer! One of the best scotch ales I’ve had. And a great name to boot!
