Description
Cross Borders’ origins trace back to an illicit biscuit cartel run by our two founders in primary school. This brewery IS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF friendship, HARD WORK, EXPERIENCE, AND a refusal to grow up. Based in leafy midlothian we brew braw beer you’ll want to drink again and again (responsibly of course).

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - cloudy or rather murky amber. Nose - watermelon and rose water. Definitely subtle aromas. Taste - toffee and grapefruit. Some oranges coming through. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - balanced. It sits somewhere between traditional and modern ipa.

Dark amber beer, thick creamy head. Looks perfect. Smells of bitter hop and a touch of citrus. Creamy mouthfeel. Taste is light, sweet citrus, easy-going malt and a hint of bitter hop. Sweet, fruity aftertaste without being sickly.
