12 oz. bottle into a Stella glass A: Hazy copper/amber color with a tight beige head some of which refused to pour out of the bottle. Head lasts a few minutes with nice lacing. Fair clarity. S: Mostly getting caramel and toast. T: Fruit. Nuts. Orange zest and burnt toast. The sweetness from the smell is thankfully absent. Delicious. M: Lighter bodied perhaps, than it looks. Refreshing with zippy carbonation.Dry tart finish leaves you wanting more. O: This is very good amber ale. Maybe the best I can think of. Highland has a hit and at $8/6 it’s a no brainer! Extremely good.

On tap at Sharkys. Clear amber with small beige head. Aroma is dank, medium body, medium carbonation, and small-bubble lacing. Taste is caramel malt, Scottish malt, and herbal hops.

Absolutely sure I’ve had this one, but never rated it. Had it at a wedding this past weekend, so here we go. Poured a slightly ruby amber color with a small white head. Aroma was some toasty notes, floral hops. Flavor was caramel malt, lightly floral notes. A decent amber. More malt sweetness than anything else.

Thanks to John for sharing. The nose is malty and smooth The beer starts smooth, malty, freshly hopped. The aftertaste is smooth, fresh, malty and slightly hoppy. Nice!

Rcvd in trade.
She pours a hazy yet somewhat clear amber and leaves the same colored body with a two finger head that rose a bit and died leaving some nice spotty spider web lacing in its wake.
The smell has some malts through bready/slightly caramel, subdued citrus/pine hops only coming through as the beer warms.
The taste is mainly balanced through previously mentioned flavors but adds some slight bitterness.
On the palate, she sits about a light to medium, comes across fairly sessionable, and leaves a crisp clean aftertaste and finish.
Overall, this is good for its style and good for me as I would have this again.
