Highland Heath
Santa Fe Brewing Company

 

Please, if you're at all wanting to drink a scotch-ale, avoid this beer at all costs. Minus it's dark, caramel color, this beer has no resemblance to a scotch ale at all. It tastes completely fruity and sour (aged in the same room as a sour would) and lacks in any rich smell you'd get with a typical scotch ale. Santa Fe Brewing make some very great beers, but this is not one of them.

With an opaque dark copper color, it boasts a collection of dried fruit, banana, clove and some bubblegum taste along with a fantastic aftertaste. It has just enough booze so the beer itself can be tasted, like Alesmith’s Barrel Aged Old Numbskull. Overall, this is a really good non-peat scotch ale!
