The Pike Brewing Co. Kilt Lifter

Aroma: “Strawberry and peach esters with light caramel notes beneath. Light cherry, cola, a bit of candy grape all blend romantically with caramel and toffee.”

Flavor: “Caramel malt and apple esters remind me of fall and candy apples. In addition to strawberry and peach, there’s a slight resinous character, likely from the hops, and a touch of lingering bitterness.”

Overall: “A well-balanced beer that provides enough of everything in about the right portions, from malt, to yeast esters, through to hops bitterness. A great Scottish Ale.”
