From the brewer

We introduced 90 Shilling, our flagship beer, at our opening party in 1989. For a while, we’d been wondering what would happen if we lightened up the traditional Scottish ale? The result is an irresistibly smooth and delicious medium-bodied amber ale. The name 90 Shilling comes from the Scottish method of taxing beer. Only the highest quality beers were taxed 90 Shillings. A shilling was a British coin used from 1549 to 1982. We think you’ll find this original ale brilliantly refreshing, and worth every shilling.

Who's been drinking this

Basically a moderately-hopped, fragrant amber ale with a slightly peaty, malty Scotch Ale finish. Was hoping for a bit more of a stronger presence of the latter, but it was enjoyable.
