It is designed as a second running of an IPA that would have been brewed in the 1800s in Edinburg. We use golden promise malt, Caramalt and Carared to create a sweet, malty backbone with notes of caramel, honey and sweet malt. The all is backed up with a moderate dose of UK hops to create a beer with a medium body and just the right amount of malt/hop flavor to be satisfying without being overwhelming.

Absolute rubbish. The worst...oh, ok, aside from Tennants in a can back in the 70's...beer I've tasted in a very long time.
Not so much that I could barely choke down one bottle, but the fact that it is totally misrepresented on the shelf.
It is a bizarre mix of way too many hops, combined with a vinegary sort of malt, and unknown citrus. The finish will make you cough and shudder. An attempt at what I'm not sure, but a total and utter fail. If you are going to advertise it as a Scottish pale ale, give it some semblance of the namesake. It sounds like they tried to please all ale drinkers in one batch. Extra hoppy, just does not work with caramel and malt and fruit. I'm sorry for sounding brutal, but I am not the only person who shares this opinion. Alexander is stirring in his grave. He would not have let this out the door.
