COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This craft beer is named after an iconic gorge along the River Findhorn in the unspoilt Moray countryside of Scotland’s North East Coast. The gorge is deep and wide, and the river runs fast over the treacherous rocks below. Legend has it that Thomas Randolph, the new Earl of Moray, was endeavouring to catch a certain Alistair Cumming, head of a local clan who had attempted to raid Randolph’s castle at nearby Darnaway. In the resulting escape Cumming leapt across the gorge, ensuring his freedom from the pursuing Randolph’s men. There is no such leap of faith needed to enjoy this unique, golden ale. Made with the best of ingredients to a new recipe from the Speyside Craft Brewery, Randolph’s Leap has a subtle citrus flavour tempered by a wheaty, crisp finish that has the slightest hint of vanilla. Like its namesake beauty spot it will fill your senses.

500ml. Pours a pale golden with a thin white lacing. A strange grassy zing; not unpleasant and provides some good character that not many lagers boast.

Bottle from Rehills, Newcastle. A pale golden beer with malt and slight floral hoppy notes, citrus sweetness and a bitter and biscuit finish.

50cl bottle thanks to unstablefable. Pours golden with a very slim head. Nose of honey and cornflakes. The taste has more of the honey nut cornflake. The palate is well balanced - light to medium in body with a creamy texture and a clean finish. Overall, good beer!

AleTsar (1337) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 28, 2013
Cask @ Bandstand Bar, Nairn [270313]
Straw, clear, thin white pillowy head
Aroma - light sweet pale malts, soft damp hay
Taste - light sweet pale malts, light hay and grassy hop, damp hay, weak flavour for 4.9% abv.
Palate - Light body, fairly oily. Finish as main flavour, sweet pale bit syrupy malt, light hay, slight metallic tail
Overall - Comes across as a below average bland golden ale rather than a lager - disappointing

cask at the blazer ... golden yellow amber ... thin white head ... almost no nose but a little grassy ... soft sweet fruits ... long grassy linger ... not really me
