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 at YNWA, Kolding. Slightly hazy pour, golden color, and a nice off-white head. Matly nose with some hoppy fruityness. Malty and bready flavor with some fruityness, leading to a bready finish. Medium body. Sure a drinkable beer, but itβs too much on the malty side. Sessionable, and goes down easily, even after a few, but only one in the crowd. Rating: 5-4-6-3-12-3. (080229)
Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body and a nice off-white head. The aroma has pale malt and a distinct buttery touch, but not in a disturbing way, actually it sort of suits the use of hops. Slightly grainy flavor with grass, some sweet notes, fruityness and bitterness. Medium body. Bready (white bread), fruity finish with appropriate bitterness. Easy to drink, would no doubt be quite sessionable, and quite well tasting, but itβs not a beer I canβt live without. (090617)

[i] [b] Bottle, Many thanks to Craig for this one [/i] [/b] Mid golden moving to light amber with the tiniest bit of haze, the porridge oats certainly make their mark on this beer, oats are on the nose, mild in flavour, some bitterness, hops are there but they are quite subtle, I liked this and as I said interesting with the porridge oats.

Bottle (purchased at the brewery shop): Deep golden coloured, lots of floaties visible, small, but persistent white foam, fruits and citrousy hops in the nose; light to medium bodied, soft MF; lingering sweetish-fruity and bitter finish. A fine session beer........

500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. Full name is "Isle of Skye Hebridean Gold Porridge Oat Ale". ABV is 4.3%. Deep golden colour, creamy and lasting off-white head. Pleasant fruity hops in the aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. The flavour has moderate malts and acceptable hops, hints of nuts and maybe some toffee. The porridge oat is just there as an airy notion in the background. Dry hoppy finish. Easy drinking, nice enough.

Bottled (BB 07/2008)
Clear amber color, cloudy off-white head, some lace. Yeast and smoked barley/ash in the nose. Medium-bodied, nutty hoppy with tobacco notes. Interesting, different kind of bitter, donβt know if it is those porridge oats or hops ... or both.

Bottled (thanks magic_dave6). Golden colour, big creamy white head. Aroma is fruits, slight honey, grass and some herbs/spices. Flavour is leather, fruits and a bunch of spices. Ok, but not anything that blew my mind.
