Brewed specifically as a competition entry, then going on to take first place, champion was the obvious name for this outstanding premium beer. With a rich, strong flavour and unique sweet and fruity character, champion is a firm favourite in the Mcewan's range. Full-Bodied, Smooth and Complex.

Bottle. Ruby/mahagony with a small but lasting head. Aroma is malty and boozy. Wood, vanilla and raisins. Taste is malty, fruity (red berries), spicy-alcoholic, caramel, bitter hops and a wee bit of salty liquorice. Finishes with an almost aggressive and long lasting dry hoppy bitterness. Sherry. Alcoholic warmth. Low carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Nice.

Yeast strain is great...benchmark Scotch ale. Crystal but not ott. Fluffy head. Underrated. Clean. Packs a punch.
