2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Keg as Belhaven Export @ Moulin Brewpub, Pitlochry. Medium brown with a foamy head. Mild caramel malt aroma & flavour. Smooth & creamy with a bitter sweet aftertaste. A bog standard keg bitter very similar to MacEwansExport.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured into a perfect pint from a clear glass bottle....ugh.
4.0 A: Clear, very light brown color. One finger of frothy beige head. Retention is about average and a decent sized ring of lacing is left.
3.5 S: Lots of toastiness with an equally potent mineral component. A bit of skunkiness, but it’s not bad. It actually kind of works with the nose. A bit of caramel, but dry overall.
4.0 T: The taste is much cleaner than the nose. Lots of toastiness, grainy malts, caramel, mineral. Again dry, but not unbalanced. Tasty, earthy beer.
3.5 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Lacking creaminess and could be a bit thicker, but good enough.
4.0 D: Pleasant, easy drinking beer.
