Piper's Pride

Piper's Pride Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our take on a classic Scottish ale, this beer utilizes pale, crystal and chocolate malts with a small dose of smoked malt. The resulting brew sports a rich ruby color with distinctive notes of caramel and toffee, followed by a subtle smoky finish. Smooth in character, yet complex enough for the seasoned craft beer drinker.

Varietal Definition
Scottish Ale:
Scottish ales are typically full-bodied and malty, with some of the classic examples being dark brown in color. They are more lowly hopped than the English counterparts and often have a slightly viscous and sweet caramel malt character due to incomplete fermentation. Scottish style ales can be found in far flung corners of the world where faithful versions are brewed, this being a legacy of its popularity in the British Empire.
