COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottled (pasteurised).
NOTE: Onlty ratings for the bottled version here. The cask version has a separate entry.
Three Sisters Scottish Ale (4.2% abv) is a dark, fruity, refreshing ale that proves a perennial favourite, and is named after the dramatic range of mountains in Glencoe.
Chocolate Malt helps to give this beer its very attractive dark ruby colour, as well as contributing to some of the toasty and liquorice flavours in the beer.
However, a very large charge of whole-flower hops balances the dark malt character with an abundance of hop fruit flavours. These include dried and fresh fruit flavours as well as some more citrus tones not normally found in such a dark beer.
There’s enough ‘going on’ in Three Sisters to keep even the most demanding real ale aficionado happy, whilst the very approachable fruit makes this a popular drink across the board.

zimbo (332) - SCOTLAND - MAR 31, 2013
Reddish brown to brown with a decent finger head and good constant beading. In the nose and on the mouth there is biscuit, some chocolate and some unusual dried fruit. Reasonably firm carbonation. Better than expected, this is a well made beer. It just needs a bit more stuffing.

jmgreenuk (1288) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - FEB 19, 2013
Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly murky brown colour with a thick white foamy head. Like many Scottish Ales, the aroma was malty, but very weak. The flavour is medium bitter with lots of liqourice that lasts through the palate and into the aftertaste. It’s a little watery though and the flavour generally lacks body. It’s quite drinkable, but not a beer I’d want to drink for the whole session.

Archibaldo de la Cruz (1068) - FINLAND - FEB 3, 2013
50cl bottle. Copper color with a small off-white head. Malt, caramel and slight fruity notes in the aroma. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, toasted notes and some fruitiness. Light to medium body, slight bitterness in the finish.

Beesbeer (349) - WALES - JAN 20, 2013
A good dark ruby colour, nice aroma. Rounded and mellow in character, slightly toasted roasted cereal. Really pleasant and worth the bottle, just falls short of incredible.
