Lowlander
A tribute to the traditional Scottish export ale, the eighty-shilling: copper in colour and led by its malts, Golden Promise and dark crystal, with Admiral as the only hop. The aroma is prominently malty, toasty and raisin-like. On the palate malt sweetness, sticky dried fruit and caramel are layered over a gentle hop resin, and the finish is dry. The head brewer describes the aim as a modern edge on a much-loved style. Drinkers mention dates, biscuit and a creamy body.
