Brewed in Scotland by The Harviestoun Brewery, Alva, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, bought at ASDA in Telford when visiting Mum last week, then carefully carried in our suitcase back to Houston so I could drink the beer at home in. Katy, TX. The bottle recommends drinking the beer cold, so I did, while preparing dinner for Patricia and I. The afternoon was spent completing the shopping at Walmart and the TLE, this time in the Flying Carpet with the top down. Stopped to look at, and test drive, a Corvette convertible. I was going to buy the car until the price increased by $4000 and the trade in value of the Flying Carpet was miserable. Oh well.

The web site says: "A delightfully refreshing blonde beer with a finish that is like the twist of a lemon. B&T has a very fresh hoppy profile from the judicious use of the aromatic Hersbrucker and the spicy Challenger. The distinctive finish comes from late hopping with Sryrian Goldings making B&T very drinkable indeed.
The beer was crisp and sharp. There was a lot of hop flavor, providing an interesting sharp taste to the first taste of the beer. Strong, full bodied with the sharp edges becoming less pronounced as the beer warmed up.
