Full-flavoured ruby beer combing the best of Scottish barley and English hops, profoundly malty in aroma and flavours but balanced with a raisiny spiciness and toasty dryness. Distinctive fresh, slightly citrus tang with a rich finish.

Bottle. Clear amber/brown body with a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Very faint lacing. Aroma of twigs, earth, mushroom and cooked hops. Flavour of tea, lightly roasted malts and wood. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Weak in all departments.
