Label Reads: "Ossian, Son of Fingal, was a legendary 3rd century Scottish warrior. Sir Walter Scott wrote:’In this still glen, remote from men, Sleeps Ossian, in the narrow glen’ This superb golden ale continues to win awards including, in its cask version, the Champion Beer of Scotland. It is perilously smooth and drinkable with distinct nutty tones and fruitiness. First Gold, Perle and Cascade hops create our unique spicy orange zesty aroma and refreshing flavour."

Taste: 15/20
Flavour: 16/20
Buy again: 17/20
Aroma: 8/10
Satisfaction: 7/10
Complexity: 9/10
Intangible: 9/10
Handwritten notes: Hooooooo-wheee! A beautifully hopped piece of honey-suckle gold. Sweet, but not "sweet-sweet", bitter, but not "bitter-bitter". As complex as a Philosophy graduate student, and just as likely to land a good job. But I guarantee if you sit down with this mo-fo you'll become enlightened, and come to a fuller understanding of Heraclitian flux. Honestly, folks, I'm not as pretentious as I sound. I'm smart, but not "smart-smart". I can drive stick shift while talking on the phone and eating a hamburger and smoking a cigar. Anyways, the beer's good.
