Country of Origin: Scotland
Price comparison: Slightly more than the average domestic.
Alcohol percentage by volume: 3.9%
Cute bottle/label? 440ml nitro can in a deep teal color with an oval logo.
Appearance: Clear dark gold with a lavish nitro head, cascading bubbles, and thick streaks of lace.
Scent: A little malt, but nothing too discernable.
Flavor: Not much. An unpleasant sense of alkalinity that I suspect derives from its low ABV in proportion to its high carbonation.
Impressions: This is Belhaven's Best? This? I think, in terms of light beer, this is one of the better ones I've had, and it's got to be fairly low-carb if that's what you're in the market for (though, as an import, there is no nutritional information on the can), but honestly. I was disappointed.
Will I buy this beer again? I think I'll just stick with Belhaven's Wee Heavy, thanks.
