Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a medium caramel color with a medium sized foamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweetish and yeasty with a hint of fruit. The flavor was tangy and sweetish with caramel and a bit of fruit. Medium length finish. Medium body and smooth. Pleasant.

Part of my discounted flight.
Sample glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy amber to orange color with no head nor lacing. No worries, it is a sample glass.
The smell had a smooth semi - smoked maltiness running into a light cocoa and light coffee.
The taste was mainly the same balanced underneath and glossing into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat controlled.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Scottish ale as ratebeer suggests. I would have it again.

Served on draft at the Smokehouse location. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of leafy and citrus hops with faint malts. The taste is toffeeish malts and citrus hops. Thin-medium bodied. A little on the hoppy side for a Scottish but I liked it.

5 oz sampler at the brew pub (#2) in Columbus, Ohio. Pour is slight haze golden with a smallish white head. Aroma is light caramel sweetness, along with just a whisper of earthiness and some iced tea. The taste is mostly the sweetness up front, caramel toffee, followed behind with the mineral cracker malt of the nose. A bit sweet, but clean and fresh tasting. Palate is medium to light bodied, lower carbonation level, mineral and more of the sweetness. Nice enough.

Smooth and hoppy, this is an easy-drinking beer. Not the best complement to food but it stands well on its own.
