Our first ever recipe in 2001, Highlander's ability to stand the test of time is testament to its quality. Proudly traditional, Highlander is the punchy, bittersweet amber ale that Fyne Ales was built on. A nutty, caramel-malt body with sweet red fruit notes and a gently bitter finish.

Bottle. Light amber colour, head does not last long, fair lacing. Aroma is quite intensive, with quite much honey plus toffee and a touch of herbal hops and something floral. Light sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body. I was expecting something much more bitter, but the beer is not bad and has something in its taste that is common to other Fyne Ales beers. Generally, quite ok.
