Belhaven Scottish Ale (5.2%)

bottle, US export version

Malty and hoppy, we at Belhaven love the classic Scottish Ale and we’ve been brewing it longer than any of the other beers we produce. Delivering a sweet, smooth and creamy finish, Scottish Ale has a stunning ruby colour in the glass. Magic.

2.2 Bottle from Bryan. Clear clear off pale color, but not as dark as iced tea, more light orange brown. Creamy head. Nose of malt. Taste is just a little rude up front but I think I'm getting used to it. Has a little of a whisky attitude about it. Good level of CO2. Some difficult non-hop bitterness settling in the back of the throat. Yes, typical old style old country scottish with an attitude towards scotch ale feel. Goes down fairly easy, but probably would not buy a sixer of these. Good fior a tick, thanks Briney.

4.1 fruity full taste with a creamy smooth finish

3.1 A smell of malt and nuts, some bread. The small white fizzy head disappears fast, the body is dark brown. The body is dry, the taste is malty, some bread, rather bitter. The beer is medium strong with a lively carbonation.

2.5 Very strong note and smell of vanilla.

4.3 Nutty, smooth, rich, delightful!

3.6 Bottle. Medium amber colour (I was going to say dark amber, but it's not that dark, but it's also not light. Maybe it's just 'amber'). Caramel malts, mild nuttiness. Very smooth, highly drinkable stuff. A simple, well-balanced ale.

3.6 Golden caramel colour with short foamy head. Smell of malt and nuts. Taste of barley malt, nuts, citrus and caramel. Very smooth. Nice ale.

3.8 Bottle, 33 cl @home. Pours a clear red dark amber with a thin white head. Creamy and malty aroma and a little citrus. Taste is sweet malty and fruity with a moderate well-balanced bitter aftertaste. A very tasty beer.

3.2 Lahvové 0.33l zakoupené v ostravské pivotece pivní mozaika. Trošku moc sladké, sladove, karamelove. Není to můj šálek piva.

3.2 Botella. Bottle. An amber brown colour with a nice medium white like head. Soft sweet toasty maltycaramel aroma, bit toffee-ish, note sof dark fruit. Good palate. Flavour: Sweet with a good toasted maltiness along with toasty caramel and bit dark fruits. Fair medium bitterness. Pleasant.

3.3 Liquide ambré avec mousse très courte. Nez caramel pommes et fruits jaunes. En bouche, c'est une attaque caramel et maltée pour terminer sur une légère amertume boisée. Très correct !!

3.6 Copper coloured clear beer with a thin head. There is a hint of caramel but the beer is also very fruity (apples and red fruit). Lower in alcohol than the scottish ales I normally can buy but a very nice one.

3.2 Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Malty aroma. Pours a crystal clear, hazelnut colour with a small head that dissipates to form a collar only. Not usually a lover of red ales, but this is better than most. Nutty and malty with a slight bitter aftertaste. Well carbonated.

2.8 color: rojo oscuro, espuma blanca muy persistente. olor: galleta sabor: dulce, caramelo, ligeramente seca, muy suave sin apenas amargor, muy facil de beber.

4.1 好香麥味，茶色

2.6 Pours a clear dark amber colour with a thin white coloured head. The aroma is of malt, as is the flavour with a slight hint of toffee and a small amount of bitterness. Overall an OK beer, but a bit watery and lacking in body.

2.9 Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

3.1 Bottle @ Friends/Panzer. Appearance: pours clear red-brown with ok off-white soapy head and lacing. aroma/taste: barley, bread, caramel, light chocolate, grass and light herbal/earthy notes. palette: medium malty aroma, average carbonation, medium body, average sweetness, somewhat balanced by a light to medium bitterness, average duration and a watery texture. Overall: solid malty ale

3.2 Pours an orange coloured beer with a white frothy head Notes of roasted toffee caramel and malt beer with roasted coffee and vanilla

3.0 0.33 bottle bought at Idea London, Belgrade. Clear whiskey coloured beer with thin tanned head. Aroma: caramel, nutty- peanuts mainly, taste: nuts, caramel, a bit tart, odd aftertaste. Thin bodied.

2.5 Pivo u limenci. Iz MAS Plenuma. Ma to niš ne valja... Vodenasto , sladno i slatkasto , ali ko nekakav bućkuriš...

3.5 Aromat: Jak dla mnie bomba, bardzo słodowy i bardzo intensywny, głównie karmel, toffi, nuty ciasteczkowe, skórka od chleba i cukier karmelizowany. Bardzo słodki i przyjemny aromat. Wygląd: kolor mocnej herbaty lub ciemnego bursztynu, bardzo klarowne, piana obfita biała i drobna, delikatnie oblepia szkło. Pięknie się prezentuje. Smak: przypomina aromat natomiast jest dużo bardziej wytrawny i delikatniejszy. Na początku słodowość jest wyraźna, aczkolwiek po chwili piwo wydaje się być bardziej wytrawne aniżeli słodkie. Balans między słodem a chmielem zdecydowanie na korzyść słodowości, goryczka jest delikatna, ale bardzo przyjemna, cytrynowa i orzeźwiająca. Bardzo ciekawy styl i naprawdę niezłe piwo.

4.5 Muy rica, vale la pena probar de nuevo para recordar sabor

2.4 500ml nitro can from Carrefour, Xiamen. Pours dark brown with an off white head. Aroma of malt and toffee. Sweetish taste and finish.

2.8 From bottle in tulip. Pours clear ruby-hued brown, w/light tan head, brown sugar aroma. Caramel sweetness, hazelnut, faint bitterness, finishes a touch tart.

2.9 Color granate oscuro, sin turbiedad, transparente. Espuma marfil de dos dedos de espesor y buena retención. Aroma a maltas tostadas, ligeros frutos negros, notas de madera y, al atemperar, alcohol. Sabor a maltas tostadas, madera, ligero caramelo, final ligeramente seco y alcohólico, amargor herbal medio. Textura ligeramente oleosa. Carbonatación media alta al principio pero pierde fuerza rápidamente.

3.2 Agréablement surpris, une bonne bière

3.6 Pours copper with a decent head. Copper nose and malty coppery flavour with light carbonation. Easy drinking

3.1 Bottle 0,33L. Pours dark copper/amber color with small off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts, toffee, caramel and yeast. Taste is sweet, nutty, woody with sweet finish. Kinda stale.

3.7 Coloração meio âmbar Espuma branca e densa Aroma leve e meio lupulado Sabor leve lupulado Bem agradável de beber
