As authenic as it claims, unlike other Scottish ales I have tried

A disappointment to me, as I had heard mention that this was the greats. Turns out it is rather boring, and indistinguishable from the uncounted legions of amber ales produced in the U.S.

Okay, I’m rating this on the basis that its not a Scotish Ale. Tasty though.

B G’s flagship brand. Hardly a typical Scottish Ale due to the up front hops in both aroma and flavor. But in conjunction with the rich malts this is a flavorful brew. Attractive deep amber color with a long and smooth palate.

A decent beer. But I wouldn’t recommend it if your in the mood for a scottish ale. Much too hoppy for the style. Not malty enough, and not strong enough. (I’m comparing this to McEwan’s or Traquair House Ale.) At any rate, a big let down if you’re in the mood for a ’big’ beer. But if you just want a decent little ale, this may be your beer.

It’s not a Scottish Ale, but it’s still pretty good stuff.
