Another amber medium bodied beer.Has some hoppiness to it with a small amount of bitterness.this one might have to grow on me.I am leaning more towards not trying it again

Think the Scotish brewers who bought us this very pleasant pale ale might be concerned at it being described as an english pale ale.
A winner of several awards including the champion beer of Scotland in 2001 this is a full bodied amber ale with an underlying fruitiness. Quite full bodied and with more depth than you would normally expect in a 4.1 per center. Highly recommended.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light copper color. Nose is bready and nutty. Flavor is biscuity, toasty, buttery, and nutty, but taste dies quickly, not much finish. A bit astringent, bottle may have been somewhat oxidized.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
NERAX '02 Amber in color,with a nice fruit and hop presence.Not malty like I would expect from a Scottish beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very nice beer. Very smooth and drinkable. No bitter presense at all. Would keep this one is stock if it were available.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This beer puts the "pale" in pale ale, which I think it's tries to hard for. An incrediblty bitter beer, even for my tastes.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Malt, sweet nose. what more can be said than its spicey. well balanced, light - medium body. very interesting..and...spicey.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A light amber beer with a fine but disappearing head. The aroma is sweet and malty. The flavor is also sweet and malty with notes of fruit. A really good pale ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Golden with lacy white head. Grassy herb aroma atop a good malt and hop structure. Plenty of everything in this beer which makes it nice to talk to.

Half of a gift set from the Inveralmond Brewery this is a pleasantly bitter ale. It actually reminds me of one our homebrew batches with a bit less hops (which is a good thing - the batch was far too bitter!) I enjoyed this one a lot. Very drinkable. Hopefully the other bottle in the set will be just as good.
