A west coast-style IPA, Forest Dweller has big resinous hoppy hits of tropical and citrus fruits. The first and only Inverness Pale Ale.

The IPA is represented by our friend the Ghillie Dhu. A wild tree sprite and guardian of the forest the Ghillie Dhu was said to live in birch woods, close to Loch a Druing in the Gairloch area of the north-west Highlands of Scotland. A kindly spirit, for the most part, one story tells how he helped a local girl, Jessie Macrae, who had lost her way in the woods one night, leading her home to safety.

On tap at Uilebheist taproom, Inverness Wednesday 27th March 2024. Pours light/mid amber, a steady resinous piney touch, dry'ish' and a little fruity. Clean and quite crisp. A nice beer.

On keg at Uilebheist taproom in Inverness - deep hazy amber body with a firm white head. Nose of stone fruits, apricot and unripe peach. Syrupy start with lots of tangy tropical and citrus. Quality.
