A celebration of all things Scottish, brewed in collaboration with local artist Steven Cox. As you can see from this can, Steven's all about texture-and so's this beer; rippled with layers of Scottish pale malt, specialty roasted malts and a historic Fountainbridge yeast strain. Bold yet tasteful and full of colour, but ever so... smoooooth.
