COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ratings for the pasteurised bottle only should go here.

A light golden, almost continental lager style beer with a gentle malt flavour. The variety of hops creates a subtle bitterness subsiding to a smooth flavour and aroma. The Cairngorm Mountains stand supreme in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, their vastness and natural unspoilt beauty and abundant wildlife set them aside as some of the finest mountains in Europe.

Phatman (103) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 7, 2012
unremarkable, definitely a cut above your average lagers with regards to a bold bitter flavour but undistinguishable in my mind.
