Scotland 🏴
Associated Venue: Royal Dick (Barney's)

In doing so, his immaculate microbrewery has injected new life into Edinburgh’s brewing history, not least because he’s chosen to resurrect a brewery at Summerhall where beer has been brewed off and on for three centuries.

Can from Cork & Cask. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a foamy white head. Nose - I had to go searching for the rhubarb to be honest, and I'm still trying to convince myself. It's mainly yeasty. Taste - definite rhubarb this time, confected rhubarb too but still nice. Edge of sweet spice. Palate - light bodied, creamy middle and tangy finish. Overall - nice in the end.
