Tranquair Jacobite Ale 

Tasted

APPEARANCE-Very deep dark brown hue, almost ruby. Off-white head fades rather quickly and leaves slight edge around the glass. 

SMELL-strong smell of coriander as advertised on the bottle.  Full bodied sweetish, full molasses smell is easily recognized. 

TASTE-Incredibly smooth.  Combo of sweet sugar cookies, the obvious molasses, rich syrupy flavors with a toasty spot on the palette.  Coriander is definitely pronounced, malt goodness to start-almost chewy, thins quickly towards the end.  Hop presence is non-existent. Slight chocolate flavors finish it out. 

Drinkability-full of sweetness, spicy-cinnamon,roasted fruitiness, sugary with rich chocolate malt flavors.  

OVERALL-I would say this is a superb Winter Beer. 

Serving Type-bottle

Deschutes Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale

-tasted


Appearance: Clearish, tangerine tone. Good creamy off-white head that fades 

slowly to a decent lacing.




Smell: Sweet citrusy, almost floral or even herbal. Just a hint of some pine in the nose



Taste: Malty, doughy start that leads to a slight caramel trace. Very smooth push that is

forcefully bumped by a stronger more intense hop taste that ends with a slight mint aftertaste.  

Works very well together, nicely balanced.




Drinkability: Very clean, Medium body, smooth and tasty.



Overall: Pretty interesting take on the a Pale ale, still prefer their Mirror Pond, but definitely 

worth it.



Serving type: bottle
