The Amber Groat is a stunning showcase for challenger and bramling cross hops. Combining with Crystal malt, they offer a satisfyingly refreshing taste for the discerning pallet. Toffee flavours and gentle berry overtones come through as well, pleasing the tastebuds enormously.

Bottle. Copper coloured pour with a wispy beige head. Nose is treacle toffee, caramel, nuts, touch of cola. Very similar action in the taste. Quite a sweet number, limited bitterness.

Bottle ever so slightly out of day... From Misty Bottle, Isle of Skye. It pours clear orangey - amber with a decent foamy white head. The aroma is woody, nutty, toasty grains, earth and muted toffee. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bitter - sweet, earthy, woody, toasted nut, touch of leather and spice with a drying finale. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Ok, but fairly boring stuff.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - hazy yellow and amber, creamy head. Nose - honey and caramel. Taste - caramel and bread. Palate - light bodied, sweet middle and a bit sweet on the end. Overall - light to medium bodied, still a bit sweet on the finish.
