The origins of this beer vary depending on the source. The beer board states that it was brewed on the hottest day of the year and the "fermentation temperature got away from them". Our server said they put the wrong yeast in a batch of Scottish Ale. Either way this beer is a one time deal. Sample at the Smokehouse. The beer is a hazed golden orange color with a thin and fizzy light beige head that diminishes slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Earthy malt aroma with notes of caramel and hops. Medium body with a balanced hops and malt profile. Some spice and yeast characteristics as well. The finish is moderately bitter hops with a sweet malt aftertaste. Overall I can understand them repackaging a mixup to at least make some money back, but this one did not do much for me.
