The 90 Shilling is a classic beer for those who go for the variant. Heavenly body, smooth going down. Nice after the first sip all the way through to the end.
More Tasting Notes
A solid malty beer that anyone can appreciate. There's some heft to the body and the lack of hops makes this a great beer for the I-don't-like-hops crowd.
Brewer's Description
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.
