COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Regular. The bottled version has a separate listing.
Brewed with lager malt and Hersbrücker and Challenger hops. Fermented with a lager yeast, but treated in every other way as a cask ale, save for a week or two of cool conditioning prior to release.
Named after the misty mountain near Pitlochry. Has won numerous awards as a cask conditioned beer, including three times gold winner at the Great British Beer Festival.

Cask @ the new rose. Ever so slightly hazy golden colour, thin bubbly head. Aroma is malt and citrus, slight wheatiness too. Slight carbonation not much. Flavour malty and sweet with a little booze at end. OK. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Clear golden colour. Plenty of fizz, giving a good head, with good head retention. Very smooth and crisp feel to it. Great alternative to standard lagers.

worldbeertaste (1133) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - JUN 18, 2012
Clear pale thin light goldish orange with a white soapy lacy lingering head. Smells stale, with hops, citrus, flowery and malt. Medium to full thin body. Tastes of sweet grape, light malt with a soft hop bitter finish. More compex than it seems. With some melon and a bit of corn. Decent and interesting.

mansquito (2569) - Nueva York, New York, USA - MAR 1, 2012
Pizzeria Paradiso, Alexandria cask ($7): Pours an orangeish colour with a nice creamy white head. Aroma is bready and fruity, but the taste is where it is at. It is kind of fruity. Nice amount of bitter hops. Bready finish. Extremely chuggable, but in the most pleasant possible way a beer can be chuggable. I was very impressed by this offering. This might be the best nondescript lager I have ever had.
