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.

oh6gdx (16047) - Vasa, FINLAND - APR 9, 2006
Casked. Golden colour, mediumsized head. Aroma of fruits and strong sticky sweetness. Flavour was surprisingly lame compared to aroma, just some sweet fruit along with hayish hoppiness. Felt unbalanced,

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUL 28, 2005
UPDATED: JUL 29, 2005 Cask at County Hotel, JDW Ashford. If only all lager was like this. A worthy beer to be my 300th. Golden beer with citrus and tropical fruit aromas, carbonated in the mouth and a bit sherberty but it leads to a nice dry finish with nettle hop. Excellent beer
