Tasting Notes:
Pours a bright clear golden color with quarter inch white head. Smells like a green bottled lager. yikes! Go over to produce and tell Miami Ed i found his new favorite beer. calling all heineken fans. A prick of hops perhaps with a dash of yuck. Good god. I can appreciate that Highland focuses on creating no frills english style ales but this one's gotta go. A totally different bag of issues is the label. It say bitter followed by "an organic pale ale." Is Highland saying that the bitters are pale ales? Then why does Brit giants Fullers put out a bitter and london pride pale? hmmm? I guess Xpdtn Grant would poise the question; "what really is a pale ale anyways? Whatever you want it to be." That clinking of glass you hear if me frantically searching the nether regions of my fridge for another beer - something different - anything, really.
I dont think Miami Ed will ever stray from the path
