COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Richer than most amber ales, 90 Shilling is smooth & deeply satisfying, with a crisp, clean Colorado taste. The name comes from the old Scottish method of naming a brewery's beer, based on original gravity and resulting tax rating.

thirdeye11 (3911) - Dallas, Texas, USA - MAR 27, 2011
(Draught at Odell) rich amber/copper with frothy fine tan head. Excellent lacing. Nose of cracker, wheat/rye, light coffee aromas and chocolate malt. Taste of english hops, cracker and not much else. Hoppy finish, odd mix of flavors but a creamy body.

AshtonMcCobb (779) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 25, 2011
355ml bottle. Pours an orange/amber colour with a good head. There is a grassiness and some smoke on the nose. The taste is very creamy with more of the smokiness and green hop flavours. Good creamy beer which refreshes on the end. Very good beer!

Pours a brown color with a bubbly tan head. Notes of karo syrup, hazel nuts, brown butter, and toffee. Awkward sandy sort of finish.

One of my favorite beers! Pours with a beautiful head, a little earthy aroma with medium bitterness.

Average stuff. It seems everyone uses this name or their beer. It didn’t really have the taste of colorado as the description implies.

while the aroma is sweet and nutty. the flavor is crisp as the commercial description suggests. mild yeastiness. light body. refreshing grassy hops. it may not taste like a scottish but the dark amber color and nutty malty aroma still make it appropriate for the category.

Camons (1500) - Hasselager, DENMARK - FEB 28, 2011
Bottle @ Hotelroom, Denver. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, floral hops. Taste is malt, bread, caramel, grass and floral hops. Medium body, soft carbonation. decent beer. 280211

Blinebuddy (22) - Golden, Colorado, USA - FEB 28, 2011
very diverse scottish inspired ale. not too strong, I dont think this would fit the 90 shilling in taxes. but does encompass a lot of maltiness found in a lot of scottish ales. not even my favorite from colorado.
