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.

Clear amber brown with a frothy off-white head and soft sweet malt on the nose. Smooth and fairly light with sweet caramel, some fruit malt and just a hint of bitterness coming through, but the sweetness overpowers it ahead of a dry finish

Can. A hazy pale yellow-orange beer with a foamy white head. Some curtains. The aroma has lots of grapefruit, pine cones, passionfruit and generic tropical fruityness, with little room for malts or anything else. It's rather thin on the palate, not watery though, with flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, orange zest and generic tropical fruityness. As in the aroma, very little room is left for the malts, but there's a very light hint of pale malts and bread. Medium length finish. A fine brew indeed, but it's lacking on body, big time. Quenching and easy to down though. 241009

Can from Lidl. Hazy golden body with a few flecks beneath a white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of flower petals, grapefruit and orange. Flavour of sweet mandarin and grass. medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This is a soft, easy drinking pale ale. I’d have preferred a few more bittering hops in the boil.

Can from Aldi. It pours hazy pink - red with a small fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, damp grain, bright, fresh raspberry character, juicy, tart, tangy, jam and raspberry tart. The taste is crisp, dry, puckering, bright, zingy, tart red berries, fresh raspberry, juicy, slightly lactic, twist of lime, some acidity and dullest hint of alcohol. Medium body and average, prickly carbonation. Hides abv very well. Not much depth, but super easy going stuff.

Cask @Treefolk's (Rome). Dorata, velata, schiuma bianca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note fruttate, agrumi, erbaceo, zest di limone. In bocca è morbida, delicata, con amaro lieve, secca, pulita, forse un po' corta. Corpo esile, carbonazione leggera. Si beve.
