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.

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 3, 2007
UPDATED: JUN 26, 2007 Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Deep golden, lightly hazy. Aroma of vanilla, black currant and coriander. Medium sweet and light bodied. A refreshingly drinkable beer that feels more Belgian than Scottish.

Golden color, small white head, some lace. Citrusy and bready aroma. Light bodied. Crisp, refreshing palate. Quite citrusy flavor with some pineapple fruity notes. Typical Golden Ale, more likely better from cask.
