Belhaven 80 Shilling
Pale malt gives a 'Horlicks' maltiness, black malt balances the sweetness, and layers of soft fruit run into a toffee finish. Challenger brings the bitterness and a base note of herbal hop, Goldings a hint of orange peel. A deep copper ale, 3.9%, with light bronze creamy foam. Fermented slightly warmer with Belhaven yeast, in the style typical of the East of Scotland; the '80/-' is affectionately known as '80 bob'.
