Is this brew as twisted and bitter as Queen Grimhilde? Or Cruella de Ville? Or Scar? Enough Disney references.* Harry and Megan may be a modern day real-life example of twisted and bitter but as they say in the army, no sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.
One of the reasons I like craft brewers is I think they are pretty down to earth fun loving bunch, leastways the ones I have met. Say what you’ll do and do what you say is a good way to do business. Harviestoun out of Alva Scotland is no exception, one of a few recent Scottish imports imbibed in. Their description on the bottle is a pretty accurate summation of this brew, which just so happened to win the 2007 World Beer Awards World’s Best Ale!
It seems like the Harviestoun crew are having a devil of a time with that Faust* mouse in their brew house. Is the rascally rodent playing hell with their hops? Luckily no tilted kilt here, balls you say! It’s a tasty tartan with a twist.
A clear light golden sinner’s pour, with a thin halo tam topper. A nice malt hop combo on the nose, interesting, intriguing, inviting, and in my glass. First taste is a malt body with an ale bitter with a touch of citrus. A unique and tasty combination that works well. Refreshing but not smooth, the bitters and citrus keep you on your toes. A just right citrus twist to go with the bonny ale bitters! Twisted & Bitter, I get it.
