Superior to the Scotch Ale, imo; the Scotch Ale put me in the mind of what it must be like to drink undiluted–aye, concentrated, even!–Coca Cola fountain syrup. The Edinburgh Ale, aside from being delicious, also had a beautiful deep, deep garnet color when held to the light. I never poured the Scotch Ale out of the bottle (only bought one 6 pack and I knew I never wanted another), but I imagine it was entirely opaque, even to a floodlight. At the time, on the southeastern seaboard of the US, one could also find something with a green label, called “McEwan’s Tartan Plaid.” No idea at all what that was about. Vanished before I decided I wanted to try it.

Also wishing one could find Belhaven Scottish Ale in the old silk-screened bottles, as I swear the Belhaven Scottish Ale currently distributed–now in a plain brown bottle with a paper label–seems watered down… still has the nice flavor, but seems thinner, and weaker.

Missing Whitbread… and lately Bass Ale, of all the long-standing, “ancient,” “forever” brews, is suddenly and alarmingly difficult to find. wtf.

Absences/losses be damned, it’s nice to know someone else has good taste in ales!
