look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

A: About 1 finger of tight white head, nice clear red/ruby appearance, decent carbonation streaming up from the bottom of the glass.

S: Caramal, toasted malt, grapefruit, orangepeel

T: Little bitterness at the front, citrus peel, dry finnish, not what I would call a true scotch ale but not bad either.

M: A little thin and watery but decent carbonation

O: Nice beer for alot of brewers but not what I expect from Bell's. I guess when you do almost everything so well, once something does not measure up to your normal standards it gets noticed. With that said I would love to produce something like this at home, very drinkable

Serving type: bottle
