ABV: 5.6% IBU: 45 Ticks (all batches): 252
MALTS: 100% Scottish Pale and Crystal
HOPS: Challenger, Cascade and Hersbrucker. A stunning India Pale Ale (IPA), don't think that Belhaven's Twisted Thistle has anything jaggy, spikey, prickly or otherwise pain-inflicting in its nature. Quite the opposite. Your taste buds will tingle with pleasure after a sip or two of this golden nectar. A real treat from our master brewers in Dunbar.

Aroma 2. Appearance 2. Taste 4. Palate 2. Overall 7. Awful aroma, like old sock. Malt, caramel but not well balanced taste. Metalic aftertaste.

0.33 l bottle from Secret Santa! Clear golden, small to a medium off-white head, diminishing. Malts, earthy hops, honey and sugar. Thought it was a golden ale. Grassy, light butter. Sweet at first with an unpleasantly astringent bitter finish. Very fake. This doesn't seem to have hops, rather some artificial flavour. Light body, moderate to high carbonation. Never again.

Nice, tart citric aroma, resin, a bit floral and perfumey, light nail polish remover. Still surprisingly nice.
