Kilt Lifter is our award-winning flagship brew, crafted in the tradition and honor of the great strong ales of Scotland. Take one sip and you’ll swear it had been brewed by men in kilts—and maybe it was. It’s a full-bodied ale with pronounced flavors of caramel and roasted barley. Notice its amber color, malty sweetness and a hint of smokiness with a clean, dry finish? That’s a true Scottish-style ale.

12 oz bottle from Albertson's in Farmington, NM. Reddish brown clear with thin beige head. Caramel aroma with slight fruitiness, full body. Not a close facsimile to the style. Cloyingly sweet malt taste, unpleasant finish. At least AZ is ticked now.

Bright amber-brown Thin head. Caramelly aroma, with just a touch of alcohol. Similar palate - caramel, a bit sticky, just a touch of bitterness. Basically I’d call this a slightly strong amber ale. Well made, decent for what it is, but not at all my type of beer.

Taster at the Yavapai Tavern, at the Grand Canyon. Pours a dark, clear, brown color, with a small, beige head and some good lacing. The aroma is brandied cherries, light cocoa, syrup, and pine. Very sweet and boozy. Medium body, with a slick, oily feel. This is overly sweet, but still quite tasty.

355ml can. Clear, amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Toasty, malty aroma, hints of caramel, red berries, a metallic touch. Taste is toasty malty, slightly fruity, minimally smoky and metallic, hints of caramel and red berries; bready, smoky finish. A bit monotonous, minimally watery.
