First, stop on my mini near North Ontario brewery tour (well two breweries anyway... I had other things to do...) Highlander is a brewery we have tried before, most notably Lion Grass Flavoured Ale, which until recently my blog was quoted on the description page of Highlander's website. (Nobody even told me I found out by (happy) accident). Tonight's beer is their signature Scottish ale. Let's give it a try.
Pours an orange/amber chestnut colour with a light tan fluffy head made up of small to medium bubbles. Nose is very grainy with hints of malt and molasses. Hints of nuts and toast and a touch of freshly mown grass. The first sip is malt forward with a surprising creaminess. Very nutty and slightly bitter with an herbaceous midsection. Hints of marijuana and medicinal hops. Aeration brings out a biscuit/toast
Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional
Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 5/6 PASS
Re-Order: 5/6 PASS
Experience: 5/6 PASS
Final Thoughts:
A good, flavourful Scottish ale. Refreshing and delicious.
