500ml bottle, dubbed a "Ruby Red IPA". Hmmm...a commemoration of a major long-ago battle involving Scots clans and Scots-English forces, and well, it gets all too complicated, so let's just have a quaff, eh?
This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber hue, with one finger of thin foamy off-white head, which settles rather quickly, leaving some broad long-armed lace around the glass after the fact.
It smells of sweet, slightly sour biscuit malt, some edgy orchard fruit, wavering menthol notes, and leafy, earthy hops. The taste is fruity, bready caramel malt, a slightly unsettling cardboard staleness, a bit of sour mustiness, and mildly bitter leafy, weedy hops.
The bubbles are quite timid, just barely perceptible in their sub-surface burbling, the body a decent enough medium weight, but with a weird, rubbery texture that messes a fair bit with my ideals of 'smoothness'. It finishes just off-dry, that reservedly sour bready character persisting to the end.
Not really anything like an IPA, English, American, or Purple, for what it's worth, and not all that bitter, either. More of an skewed amber ale, but I'll give credit to the understated biscuit malt, and equally tame noble hops in classifying this as an English Bitter. As for enjoyability - not so much.
