A delightful Scottish beer inspired by a brewing book from 1847 where there is a story about a beer that is “clear and very brisk, and, consequently, very agreeable to the palate." - see opposite.
Our modern interpretation of this beer uses four different malts (Pale Ale, Crystal, Chocolate and Roast Barley).
Hops are added in small quantities in two stages to ensure that the malt character typical of Scottish ales is not overwhelmed.
