Highland: Gaelic Ale (Red Ale) 5.8%

Drank From: bottle, poured into a pint glass





This is my favorite Highland beer by far. It is well balanced beer. Different than Kashmir and St. Theresa, it doesn’t have a metallic taste. It is slightly darker than you would expect. It pours almost brown. In addition to the hops and malt, it has a little bit of what you would expect from a brown ale…maple?

It’s packed with flavor, but not too heavy or chew-spitty. Simply put this beer exceeded my expectations and is a must try if you ever find yourself in hippie country that is Ashville, NC.
