Beers similar to Skye Gold

Isle of Skye Brewing Company

Golden Ale·United Kingdom·4.3% ABV·One of 138 Golden Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Skye Gold's malty and bitter character. Oaty and lightly bitter in the aroma, balanced and softly fruity on the palate, with a light bitterness and an oaty background. The flavour of gentle hops comes with a creamy head. Porridge oats go into the brew, a nod to the role of grain in Scottish brewing. The name recalls Uamh-an-Oir, the cave of gold, from a legend of a passage running the length of Skye with a treasure pot buried inside.
