Harviestoun Schiehallion is a refined American Lager that balances a crisp delivery with unexpected complexity. Built on a foundation of semi-sweet bready malt and subtle honey, it features a vibrant hop profile. The use of Challenger, Styrian Goldings, and Hallertau Hersbrücker hops creates a sensory tapestry of fresh-cut grass, spicy floral notes, and tropical hints of lychee and green mango. Touches of brown sugar add depth to the aroma, while the palate remains lean and refreshing. It concludes with a signature lingering, grapefruity finish, offering a sophisticated and clean drinking experience that far exceeds the standard expectations of its style category.
