Today's beer adventure: Harviestoun Schiehallion Lager (Scotland). 500ml bottle. 4.8% ABV. Served in a pint glass. Purchased at Willow Park Wine and Spirits in Regina.
The pour is yellow honey with 2 fingers of white head. Good retention. Medium carbonation. Nose is lightly toasted cereals, bread, light malt sweetness.
The flavour is sweet honey malt with a caramelly toasted malt backbone. Slight grassy hop bitterness near the finish. Finish is long and bittersweet. Medium mouthfeel.
Rating is 7.5 dogs. This lager has something I wasn't expecting - taste. The beer is enjoyable from the first pull until the last. Solid offering from the brewery that brought us Old Engine Oil Porter.
