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 Craft Beer Co. It pours hazy amber, with a thick white head. The nose is wood, leather, dust, lemon, lime, soap and pepper. The taste is wood, smoke, leather, astringency, soap, pepper and salt. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. Not great.

April 4th 2011 early amateur rate. Cask at the Craft Beer Co. It pours straw yellow, with a decent beige head. The nose is white bread, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit and pepper. The taste is initially melon, then: pine, resin, leaf and grapefruit, with a mouth-numbing, dry finish. Light body and soft carbonation. A refreshing session ale. 3.7. I have had this loads of times in bottles, cans & many, many times on cask. A fresh cask pint of this is exquisite. On the face of it straight forward and rounded, but has an incredible subtle depth of flavour. Bright fresh citrus marry up well with a clean malt base. One of the few beers I return to again and again.

ChrisOs ’Donkey Dork Lord’ Pre-GBBF Tasting. Hazy pale gold beer, residual white head. Light semi dry palate. Lagerish malt offset by decent grapefruit hop. Semi dry finish. Interesting enough.
