COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
El balance de esta cerveza se encuentra ligeramente inclinado hacia un acaramelado y dulce paladar característico de este estilo pale ale de Escocia. Su tradicional baja intensidad de lúpulo surgió historicamente a causa de la escasez de lúpulo en el frío y montañoso entorno de esta región. Para crear un gentil contrapunto a esta dulzura maltosa hemos balanceado esta cerveza con el aromático amargor de dos elegantes especies de lúpulo Británico. Y como un toque personal, decidimos darle complejidad y profundidad al sabor adicionado maltas ahumadas con turba obteniendo así un aroma similar al de algunos whiskies de las Hébrides. El lugar idóneo para esta cerveza es un pub escocés al borde de Loch Lomond mientras se disfruta un buen haggis con puré de patatas y nabos. Esta cerveza la hacemos todo el año y nos parece ideal también para acompañar carnes a la leña, embutidos y platillos ahumados. Una interesante selección para acompañar un queso Provolone.

fiulijn (10383) - Como, ITALY - DEC 10, 2009
Hazy amber color; small creamy head. Light smoke aroma. Strange flavor; technicall, it’s smoky caramel, but it reminds me the flavor of milk straight from the cow, a bit of manure too. Strange but interesting.
