We will let you know when this beer comes back in stock.

Thanks! We'll keep you posted.

A great Glasgow band and a great name for a beer. We coax the amazing aromas out of some New Zealand and Slovenian hops, blend with an eclectic mix of light malts and cold condition on an infusion of hops mixed with freshly pressed strawberries.

Tasting Notes

See Tasting Tips from the Brotherhood Colour Make yourself comfortable in a well-lit room. Pour your beer into a glass and take a good, long look. Describe what you see. Is it clear or cloudy? Does the foam on the head stick around or quickly dissipate? Is that foam "rocky" or "fluffy" and how would you describe its colour? Does the foam leave "lace" on the glass as you sip the beer? And the bubbles? Tight and champagne-like or larger and more bulbous? Finally, colour: Use as many words as you want to describe it.: Gold, Slight Haze
Smell Tasting Tips from the Brotherhood Aroma Did you know the sense of smell accounts for about 80% of flavor perception? Okay, here we go: Let your freshly-poured glass of beer breathe for a few moments. Now, give it a few brief sniffs. Swirl the glass a bit—like you’ve seen wine-buffs do—and have another whiff. Look past the obvious "smells like beer" responses. What other aromas are you getting? Maybe toasted malts, piney hops, maybe ester-and-phenol-producing yeast? Fruit? Spices?: Strawberry, Citrus Fruits, Peach and Pine
Taste Tasting Tips from the Brotherhood Taste Now that you have visually inspected your beer & described its aroma, you can engage in tasting. Remember that tasting is about the transition of flavors from the first sip contact through the finish. Allow the beer to coat the inside of your mouth. Allow the liquid to run the full gamut of your tongue and hit all those taste bud areas, importantly, the bitterness receptors at the back of the tongue. Now, describe the length, intensity and quality of the finish.: Malty, Strawberry, Zesty, Fruity
Bitterness: 3
Sweetness: 2
