Organic “Great Scot” Pale Ale
by Paul Arthur on Apr.07, 2009, under ale, beer, english pale ale, pale ale
Background: Brewed by Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh (except there they call it Golden Promise). English pale ale brewed with organic Golden Promise malt and First Gold hops. I’d never heard of this hop variety before, but it’s evidently a dwarf derivant of Whitbread Golding.
Nose: Sweet, rounded malt with hints of apricot.
Taste: Candied orange and tea leaf influences on a soft honeyed malt background. Finish has a bit of metallic copper.
Overall: Decent, but not outstanding, pale ale. Just a hint of off-tastes detracts from the overall experience.
