Hoppers 80 Schilling

Brewed by Hoppers Grill & Brewery
Style: Scottish Ale
Midvale, Utah USA

Serve in English pint, Thistle

When we lived in Salt Lake City my wife and I went here all the time. The beers are all excellent. The wings are the best in the state.

On tap at the brewpub. Listed as Bruce’s 80 Shilling, hopefully this doesn’t necessitate an alternative listing, it is the same beer. Pours a amber/red/brown color with a small white head. A light malty nose, some dark fruit notes also. The flavor is very nice; lots of rich fruity malts, somewhat dry, like a huckleberry or boysenberry. Some light bitter hops also. Very full flavored. A nice brew for sure.

[GABF, Denver Co - 2006] A deep amber color brew. This had a very nice intense Scottish flavor and the smoked peat was very good addition. Te hops and the malts where very good. I liked this brew. I would almost say this is a 90 schilling style.
