Schiehallion (She-ha-li-on)

4.8% ABV

Schiehallion is available on draught in 9-gallon kegs & in 500ml bottles at 4.8% ABV.

Schiehallion 500ml bottle & glassOur unique, cask conditioned lager beer Schiehallion is crisp, dry and airy with a beautifully fresh, grapefruity taste. Delicately crafted using Hersbrucker lager hops; it is fermented at a very low temperature with lager yeast. On draught it is served “on the yeast” at cellar temperature without filtering or extra fizz.

Innumerable walkers have cut their Munro-bagging teeth on the slopes of Schiehallion, one of Scotland's best known and most popular mountains. Viewed from afar, the "Fairy hill of the Caledonians" is a distinctive conical peak. Oft shrouded in cool, refreshing, misty swirls of early morning air. It is the inspiration for this magnificent award winning beer.

"Pale straw/gold colour, not as pale as some pilsner type beers, and no great carbonation, though a decent enough head when served from the cask. Aroma hints at both hops and a slight flowery sweetness, which is reflected in the taste. Good body for this type of beer, full flavour which leans towards the sweeter side, but dryish finish which makes it easy to enjoy and drink. An excellent 'lager' style beer from a UK micro, if only all lager produced in UK could taste as pleasant as this!"

"Not a million miles away from a lovely refreshing pint of lager - but without all the fizz and chemicals. The flavour is smooth and subtle with no lingering after-taste, making its eminently drinkable stuff. Very crisp, very refreshing and worth its awards."
