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.

Bottle, shared by Papsoe. It pours a clear, copper body under a small, beige head. Lovely resiny hops in the aroma, with some roasted malt in the back. The flavor has a nice blend of hops and caramel malt, with resin, pinecones and a nice bitterness. Full-bodied. Bitter finish. A really nice one, showing that also the Scots can use lots of hops if they want to. (090514)

Bottle, shared by Papsoe. It pours a clear, dark golden body under a small, off-white head. Malty nose with some hops in the background and a little cellar as well. Cellarish, malty flavor with some fruity hops producing a little bitterness. Rather malty finish too, with a decent bitterness. Dry, medium body. A decent beer, but rather uninteresting except as a session-beer. (090514)
