Pasteurised Version of McEwans 80/-
When William McEwan founded his brewery at Fountainbridge in Edinburgh in 1856, this 80/- (‘eighty shilling’) was one of the first beers he produced. It was the beer of choice for McEwan’s brewery workers and at one time the local pub sold almost nothing else! Its classic full flavour is still much loved at home and abroad.
This traditional Scottish premium ale is also known as ‘Heavy’ and when it comes to taste it certainly packs a powerful punch.

From tap at Ben Nevis. Pours clear and golden orange to brown with a small creamy and off white head, leaving a thick creamy lacing on the glass. Aroma is dark roasted malty and breadish. Bitter, slight hops metallic and dark malty flavoured. Flat malty and slight bitter finish.

From the keg in a pub on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Medium brown / amber color. Rich, malty aroma. Good rich flavor with caramel. Roasted flavor adds dryness as well. Decent hops at the finish make it very dry. Good stuff.
