355ml can - boy, they sure do like to mention the Rocky Mountains a lot on the label, just sayin'.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of random splotchy lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some bruised pome fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, caramel pudding, overripe pears, and more understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a dense middleweight, and actually quite smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the Wild Rose Country malt the star of its own lingering show.
Overall - I don't really know what makes this all that Scottish, as it comes across as a simple malty ale, with a thankfully restrained sweet character. At any rate, it's decent, and easy enough to put back, as I admire what appears to be a monkey playing the bagpipes on the label. Authenticity, folks!
