Produced from the same mash as our GABS festival beer, a Scottish Export 80 Shilling, this Scottish Light 60 Shilling is full of malt with mellow caramel and light bread notes. A hint of orange-citrus adds complexity to the familiar earth and spice of English noble hops. A slight hop adjustment keeps the beer balanced producing a smooth clean malty bitterness.

Purchased at the brewery in September 22 and drunk in October of that year.
L: Dark amber brown with a big, pillowy head. Moderate, fast-moving carbonation is visible throughout the beer.
S: Sweet, spicy bread and yeast with a slight post-mix quality to it. Not particularly entrancing.
T: There's a sweet, bready taste as per the nose and a little bit of toffee and caramel. It has a thin, weak finish, likely down to the lower alcohol body, but it again has that post-mix quality to it. That perception is followed by a long-lasting, cloying but mild toffee aftertaste that verges on tobacco. That end note stands out as the overwhelming taste impression.
M: Smooth and soft in the mouth, which makes that thin finish more pronounced. Carbonation is well-matched to the beer.
O: A 3% beer means there's a lack of body, and that significantly impacts taste here. It starts off with some sweet, spicy bread notes but the lack of body overwhelms flavour in the name of a weird post-mixy, tobacco-like character that is not particularly enjoyable. Kudos to the brewer, though, for producing a style rarely seen in this part of the world.
Cheers!
