hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and oak character as Traquair Bear Ale. The lightest beer of the range and the brewery's original draught ale, sold on tap locally and later also bottled. It takes its name from the Bear Gates of Traquair House, closed since 1745. The beer is a rich amber with a malty nose and a full malt palate of caramel and bread crust, carrying a light oak note from fermentation in wood. East Kent Goldings give an earthy spice, and fruity hop character appears on the finish, which stays soft rather than sharply bitter. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
