About
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 Gordon Highlander. It pours clear dark brown with a thick, fluffy khaki head. The aroma is cacao nibs, chocolate bourbons, woody, bitter - sweet, brownie, coffee grounds and some charred wood. The taste is dry, woody, leather, cacao nibs, toasted nut, coffee grounds, dried berry and malt loaf with a lingering drying and bitter finish. Average body and cask carbonation. Maybe lacks a bit of oompf, but it is rounded and quaffable 3.6

Cask at Prince of Wales, Aberdeen. It pours hazy dirty blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, juicy, tangy, peachy, mango, tropical fruit hubba bubba, pineapple, green, dank and herbal. The taste is dryish upfront, sweet, juicy, nice depth of fruity flavour, mango, peach, passion fruit, twist of citrus, waxy peel, um bingo, green, herbal, touch of spice and slightly chalky finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy cask carbonation. Really like the aroma. Hazier, sweeter and less bitter than usual Fyne Ale offerings. Enjoyable, but a bit more muddled than usual Fyne.

Draught keg at the King's Head, Stamford. Light reddish purple, very translucent with a pinkish white ring of head. Spicy notes, forest fruits, blackberry. Tart and wild in the mouth with the blackberry shining through but not dominating. Light body with extremely heavy carbonation. Exciting sour.

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.
