(Cask conditioned). Sampled at the Wear Valley CAMRA beer festival. (Room temperature, low natural carbonation). Copper coloured. A Scottish "heavy" like it should be. Good, but not so very special. Aviemore brewery changed its name in 2001 to Cairngorm brewery. Website: www.cairngormbrewery.co.uk Cairngorm also brew Tomintoul beers.

Bottled. My first impression of this beer was that it was very lively. It was quite easy to notice as half the beer shot out of the bottle like a spirit trapped for centuries. The remaining beer, which was not on my floor, was nut brown and had a flowery nose. It was dry and roasty with sparkling mouthfeel and nice bitter finish.

A sweet lager, a little bit sticky. Reminds me a lot of Estonian lagers, and that's not a good thing.
