Loch Ales: Tasting Notes
We’re currently producing three core beers—Best Bitter, County Ale and Dark Ale—each based on classic sessional British ales. Our beers are all ‘real’ ales—bottle conditioned for a gentle carbonation. They’re full of distinctive malt flavours, balanced with traditional English hop varieties.
All Loch ales are naturally brewed, unfiltered and bottle-conditioned.
