Commercial Description:
From the land of loch and stone comes our newest offering. Ruby-gold in color, Burning Skye is exceptionally smooth and mild. The use of a wee bit of smoked barley lends Scottish Ale a finish that is both unique and a little mysterious.

Can’t place the aroma. This is pretty good too. Not very smoky or peaty, with some malt but not a lot. Doesn’t seem much like a Scottish but it’s okay anyways.

Pours a clear reddish orange. Thin, fizzy white head with decent retention. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is not as sweet, with some smoky notes and coffee malt. Think Fat Tire with a hint of coffee flavor. No aftertaste. Is this a great beer? No. But for a smooth session beer, you could do a lot worse.

I’d hardly call it a Scottish Ale. Pours a cloudy copper with a thin white head. The body is very fizzy, with a front of the mouth soda quality. A bit of breadlike malt, but generally lacking in body or character.

Bottle: Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Aroma, pale and caramel malts, some fruits, grains. Flavor, caramel, pale and bready malts, some fruits, and grains, not bad.
