The taste of grain has always been a vital part of the Scottish brewing tradition. We took the convention one step further, milling fine porridge oats right here in the brewery.
The result is an ale with the flavour of gentle hops, a creamy head and just the right amount of bitterness.

Bottle from Dobbies garden cemtre in Ashford. Clear gold with a thin white head. Grassy hoppy aroma. Bit perfumed in mouth. Its not great too be honest too perfumed. Some hop on end. Did not want to finish it. But I did and it got better. Not much better but less unpleasant

Flaske 0,5 l. Gave fra Rune. Takker. Lys gylden på farge. Litt uklart. OK kremaktig skum. Sterk fruktig aroma. Syrlig fruktig smak: Rosiner og svisker. Litt uvariert smaksbilde. Litt vassen. Forsiktig bitterhet langt uti ettersmaken.

Medium white head. Deep yellow body. Fruity strawberry aroma with strawy notes. Dry dusty fruity taste with chalky notes. Hollow body. Dusty mouthfeel. Light palate. Very little taste, really. Dry fruity papery aftertaste. Not a success. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

A very hazy amber ale with a thin lacing white head. A rather grainy malt with light damp basement, mineral. In mouth, a rather light fruity ale with very grainy character, and light raspberry notes, and some light butterscotch. Not bad. LCBO private import, BB Oct. 2009.

Small white head over copper-coloured, clear beer, well-carbonated. Faint garden herbs, then quite some caramel, and something vaguely smelling of frying oil. Faint sweet-dull malty main taste, followed by quite expressly hop-bitter flavour, starting retrolingual and long-lasting into the aftertaste. Not very noble hops, IMO. Very light body, well-carbonated. Nothing in the whole package that gives me a link to what I usually get from oats in stout or porter. And nothing distinctive, neither.

500ml bottle from Luvians in St Andrews. Slightly off-white head resting on top of an amber coloured body. Smell of leafy hops. Mild spicy, succulent citrus fruits in flavour supported by porridge oat. Fresh, but too foamy in the mouth [29.10.2008].
