Description
Speyside Brewery is based in Moray Speyside, the heart of Scotland's malt whisky country. More than 50 distilleries are within a 30-mile radius of the brewery, using the same water for their iconic whiskies that we use to make our beer.

Founded by chemistry student Seb Jones in November 2012, the brewery produces a varied core range of beers - named after local
icons - as well as popular seasonal beers. We are proud to make them.

Brewery closed in 2020. Relaunched in Summer 2023 with a different beer lineup.

Light brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour do have a certain funky note not far away from Brett. Some sweeter malt whisky too and a touch of alcohol. A bit thin bodied too.

Thanks Kasper! Hazy dark orange colour, small white head. Toffee, flowery notes, notes of oxidation. Medium-bodied. Very bitter, piney flavour. Wood. Some toffee and lots of cardboard. Passed its prime but quite interesting brew.

330 ml bottle. Almost pitch black color, soft carbonation that died fast. Aroma shows subtle chocolate, light roast, yeast. Flavor is really light. Weak roast, mild chocolate, and caramel candy notes. My major complaint is the thin watery body. If they added oats or somethings to thicken this body it would help greatly.

Bottle from Aldi, Inverurie. It pours clear bright golden with a small white head. The aroma is quite fresh, juicy, tropical fruit vibes, mango, papaya, bready malts, candied orange peel and a touch of marmalade. The taste is crisp, pretty clean, lemongrass, straw, toasty grain, pithy citrus fruits, grapefruit, grassy, touch of spice, bread and a touch of metal with a dry finish. Body is on the lighter side of medium and carbonation is moderate. Taste doesn't quite live up to the aroma, but it is decent nonetheless.
