COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rich, red hue and malty overtones are reminiscent of a "70 shilling" Scottish ale adapted by American brewers to what is now the amber style. This malty brew is combined with Cascade mountain water and our own strain of yeast making for a smooth and rounded "session" ale.

’Scotch Ale’, I don’t see it or taste it, a decent beer, fair nose and fair bite. Drinakable, but not their best.

Had this ber on 5/27/1998. Color is a deep rich brown with a touch of amber, very good carbonation and nice head. Aroma has is a sweet malt scent with slight hop tones. Taste is earthy and a little woody. It starts off with a medium body with the malt flavors coming threw, then it goes down easy and begins to turn earthy. The finish has what I can only describe as a wood like taste as if it was fermented with tree bark. Is not bad but I prefer an amber that has a good malt taste not the taste of a tree.

Beardface (1480) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - MAY 1, 2009
Going on memory here since it’s been a while, but I remember a deep amber pour with a moderate white head. Hefty on the malt in both aroma and flavor, with zero complexity and a too sweet and cloying mouthfeel.

Cask-conditioned at the alehouse. Fuzzy mouthfeel, subtle coppery and malt flavors. Creamy head.

A great color for an amber. A very deep and rich red shade of amber. Apart from a neat color...

A very good draft after a very long flight. May have influenced my decision
