Description
Loch Lomond Brewery started life in our kitchen in Luss on the shores of Loch Lomond.
A desire to brew beer and create a family business that would allow the whole family to get involved we started in 2011 in Alexandria.
Now having brewed a number of award winning beers including CAMRA Champion Beer of Scotland in 2017 and SIBA Supreme Cask Champion of the UK in 2016, we have recently rebranded to include a number of new beers in cask, keg, bottle and can.
Still brewing on our original 10bbl kit our passion has not faded - in fact we are probably more fanatical now about our existing beers and new recipes than ever before.

440ml can. Amber-orange, small white head, thin retention. Aroma of herb-earthy funk, orange peel and light pine; ok. Taste is sweet malts, zesty citrus peel, earthy, pine resin; decent, could do with a lighter fruity note such as grapefruit to offset. Just shy of a moderate body and the carbonation is overly aggressive to compensate but once hard poured into another glass it was fine. Decent enough beer but has its flaws.

Can at The County Hotel JDW Ashford. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. New England style tropical fruit flavour and aroma. Light in mouth. Some neipa character. It's quite light. Some tropical fruit. Bit fizzy. OK.

Can from Lidl. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head, modest retention. Floral and coconut aroma, light citric note. Taste of coconut with lemon and lime tangy hints, tea, on top of a rather basic malt profile. Medium bodied, chewy, moderate carbonation, decent drying close with long bitterness. Its ok, I was worried it was going to be flavoured with coconut extract which seemed odd for a pale. However its just hopped with Sabro and Sorachi Ace.

Can from Lidl. Pours a light cloudy gold with small head, some retention and lacing. Aroma of pine, citrus peel and grass. OK. Taste of biscuit and cracker like sweet malts mixed in with a pine resin, then a touch of citrus and tropical fruit tang and a grassy finish. Fairly basic but its not heavy and there is a nice balance to it. A smooth mouthfeel gives its a session quality. I quite enjoyed it.

Dented can from EeBria. An intense fruity and boozy number, reminds me a bit of a barley wine but with more tropical notes. Lovely sipping beer. Look: cloudy orange-amber, small receding white head. Nose: marmalade, lime, passionfruit, mango Taste: tropical fruit medley, marmalade, pine, booze, bittersweet. Palate: medium to full bodied, light sticky, tingly carbonation.

Can from Lidl in Inverurie. It pours hazy golden to pale orange with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, tangy, fanta juicy lemon, peach, mango, nectarine, party biscuit, floury bread, touch green and some gummy candy. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, pithy, zesty, orange peel, kumquat, Fanta, green, weedy, soda water with lime, fragrant, floral, peaches & cream and straw with a drying, zingy finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Easy going.

440ml can from Lidl, Skegness. Cloudy gold pour with moderate sized white head, nice lasting head with some lacing. Aroma of citrus, lime peel, herbs, burning plastic but maybe that's the yeast. Taste is citrus, gooseberry, grapefruit, lime zest, pale malts. Light to medium bodied, light stickiness. Very good IPA for the price point.
