Highland Brewing Co. Gaelic Ale
What they say: Deep American amber ale featuring a rich malty body. Cascade and Williamette hops add a complex hop and aroma. This ale is exceptionally balanced between malty sweetness and delicate hop bitterness.
What we say: The color leans a little more toward a dark ruby than amber but it's pleasing nonetheless. This is a perfect gateway to malty beers. Think of it as an IPA but instead of amped up hops, the Gaelic Ale has more malts. Next step up to Bear Republic's Red Rock Ale.
Taste: A little sweeter than most grocery store beers, this brew highlights malts instead of hops. Nice medium body, and a welcome relief from beers and brewers who have the "hops on the brain syndrome".
Appearance: A dark but translucent red.
Cost: $8.79 - $9.99
Last Word: Get it! / Skip it / Wait for a sale.
