What Our Panel Thought
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.”
What the Brewers Say
“Layers of sweet malt, reminiscent of caramel and toffee, are followed by peat-smoked flavors making this versatile beer the best-selling in Pike Brewing’s history. Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale pours a ruby-amber color with its rich malts drawing your attention and finishing with slight piney hops character.”
