Beer in Scotland was traditionally categorised in shillings, according to the amount of tax charged per hogshead – a giant barrel of which contained 42 pints. 40/- ale was a very light beer often supplied to farmhands. 50/- and 60/- beers were also reasonably light and mild. 70/-, 80/- and 90/- were progressively stronger, export-quality beers. The shilling system continued to be used to indicate the beers’ quality and was legally recognised in 1914.
Brewed with three different varieties of hop and a multitude of malts, Caledonian 80/- has hidden depths. Satisfying and timeless, this beer is the essence of Scotland in a glass.
The definitive classic 80/- ale: full-bodied, complex malt and hop flavours, dry but spicy. Characterised by a superb creamy head and hoppy finish

Bottle:Copper coloured, mid-sized stable off-white creamy head, mainly fruity nose, dark malt with a tinge of metal detectable; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied, but fortunately really soft; sweetish fruity-malty finish with a slightly lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice enough…
