Description
Law Brewing Co was born during December 2014 after leaving a research career in science of 25 years. A new challenge was required and a desire to take my home-brewing skills to the next level and, coupled with the lack of a local brewery in the City of Dundee it seemed a logical step to become part of the global craft beer revolution.

Law Brewing Co (est. 2016) is named after Dundee’s most distinctive landmark of 572 feet high; the ‘volcano-esque’ slopes of the Law. Its predominant feature is an extinct volcano formed around 400 million years ago and the name originates from either the Gaelic or Anglo-Saxon (hlāw) word meaning a ‘mound’. The modern word Law means ‘a principle governing action or procedure,’ and we aim to follow this and encapsulate an ethos and benchmark for producing high-quality beers in an ethical and sustainable manner.

Can at home. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with a small frothy white head. The aroma is fresh bready and biscuity malt, leafy, tangy candied lemon, apple pie, pear crumble and dusting of white sugar. The taste is dryish upfront, although the main character is bitter - sweet, fairly hearty malt base, baked goods... doughy white bread, biscuit, touch grassy, leafy, herbal, apple crumble, twist of lemon and a touch of peppery spice with a drying, lip-smacking finish. Medium body and soft, massaging carbonation. Quite like what going on. A hearty breakfast lager.

The taste is fairly crisp, drying, firm, dry oak, sweet - sour, hearty bready malt, rich tea biscuit, sponge cake, tart green apple, melon, white grape, musty, damp basement, gooseberry and soor plooms with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Nice elements to it. Not sure I appreciate the sweetness of the malt base, but it's nice nonetheless.

Bottle picked up on Dundee. It pours clear amber - brown with a decent frothy beige head. The aroma is Indeed reminiscent of Dundee cake, warming spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, orange peel, dried fruits and fruit. The taste is fairly dry upfront, tangy orange, bitter - sweet, raisin, sultana, mixed peel, brown bread, malt loaf, fruit cake, warming spice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and dry woodiness. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Has definitely done what it set out to do. Decent stuff. As a fan of said cake, I think it works well.
