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).

Can sample thanks to Jonny. Appearance - this was fairly clear until we realised at the end of the can that it was can conditioned or at least canned with the yeast. Then cloudy yellow with a nice fluffy head. Nose - could smell pineapple even as Evilkniamhel was opening it. Then resin and grass. Taste - more tropical and citrus. Quite a lot of malt at the back. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - this is more malty than a golden ale but not quite as malty as an American Pale Ale. I’d place this as session IPA to be honest.
