70 Schilling
Triptych Brewing

I got a tall boy can of this beer from my good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego. It poured a clear amber with very thin white head that did not leave any lace. The scent had barley and light boozy notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with mild caramel malt base with barleywine presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Aroma is caramel/malts and toasty/slightly smoky, almost like an American Amber. The flavor is fruit/mild berries, close to an American Amber all around, and a slightly smoky/toasted malts finish.

A: Pours a clear amber brown color. A two finger white head forms that gently recedes and leaves some lace behind.
S: Malty and grainy in the nose. Kind of wort like, that is earthy, dirty, or something odd like that.
T: Malty and cereal grain like. An almost earthy, wood character, with more sweetness lingering on.
M/O: A light body with moderate to high carbonation. It could be a bit "creamier" and cleaner for my tastes. Very easy to drink though. I can come back to this.

A nice enough Amber-ish ale. In some ways it certainly reminds me of a lighter version of Odell's 90 Shilling, which is perfectly fine. I can't say this is really representative of any beers I had while working in Scotland (almost no "Scottish Ale" I have had in the States are), but its a nice enough low ABV malty offering with a bit of odd wort like earthy character. Which doesn't bother me all that much, but it does stand out a little to me, if I'm even describing that correctly. Regardless, its enjoyable.
