Commercial Description:
Bottle; Filtered.
Originally called St Peters Well but renamed, apparently, because of objections from St Peters Brewery
When Christianity reached the pagan Scottish Celts in the 5th Century they honoured St Peter by naming an ancient healing well for him in Houston. The mystical magic of this well is reflected in the rich golden colour, fruity flavour and full hop aroma of this light and refreshing ale.

Bottle. Amber with a nice head. The aroma is hoppy with a perfumed, floral note. the flavour is sweetish with notes of fruit and caramel, and the bitterness is moderate. It’s easy to drink, but a bit light in the overall impression.

Slightly cloying nose. Pours pale gold. Flavour is yeasty and sour with a nasty finish. Poor.

Aroma is sweetish and maybe wheaty? Taste is easy going similar to aroma, but maybe a bit minimal. Not bad.

A pleasant golden ale with a well rounded if mundane flavour.Nothing else to say about it except that this is one of the more average offerings from the Scotish micro scene.
