Description
We are Fyne Ales, a family-owned Scottish farm brewery. When our brewery was founded in 2001, the goal was not only to make the best quality beer, but to bring jobs, industry and tourism to our community and our quiet corner of rural Scotland. We’ve continued brewing in this spirit ever since. Drawing water from the hills and brewing in converted farm buildings, we create modern, ambitious and progressive beers in a wide variety of styles.

Cask at The Redgarth. It pours hazy bright golden with a fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fruity, fragrant, very tropical, pineapple, mango, coconut, pina colada and a touch green. The taste is initially dry, muted bitterness, pithy, zesty, orangey citrus, crunchy mango, pineapple, ripe honeydew melon, coconut, floral accents, touch of grass and floury bread. Finish is bone dry. Light body and soft carbonation. Delivers a lot of flavour for the abv. Good sunny day offering.

Cask at The Queen Vic. It pours clear darkest brown with a thick, dense khaki head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, roasty malts, toasted pine, touch of premium milk chocolate, chai latte, piney, malt loaf, hint of coffee and a twist of citrus. The taste is firmly dry, touch of bitterness, toasted pine, slightly sappy, resinous, coffee grounds, some umami, liquorice, treacle, malt loaf and toasty spice with a drying, toasty finish. Average body and moderate cask carbonation. Good condition. Much more depth than one would usually expect from this style. Moreish and quaffable.

Pours clear gold with a dense white head. Aroma of biscuity malt, citrus and herbal hops. Similar flavor. Easy drinking and flavorful. It has a mildly bitter finish. This is quite nice.
