12oz bottle. Gross buttery off aroma. Steam beer aromas, way off and bad. It really gets to me when someone who makes a publicly sold beer and doesn’t even have basic comprehension of the styles they think they are paying tribute to. Low appearance score for the lack of filtration. Embarrassingly weak and amateur.

12oz bottle. Scottish Lager. Filtered amber-brown body. Foamy beige head. I can’t quite place the aroma, some odd oily amber chocolate malt. Definitely off in some way, some of those garbage tones. Weird, amateur stuff, no brewing prowess displayed at all. Aroma keeps getting worse. Pretty bad, but an interesting concept.

Draft - Lots of grapefruit and pine hops. Deep brown with a beige head. Piney hops with only the slightest roast and a nice long bitterness. Great beer, but the roast is far in the background.
