Beer 293 - Belhaven St Andrews Ale (3 stars out of 5)



Brewed by the Belhaven Brewery, Dunbar, Scotland.  Bought either by Andy or Stephen and drunk at home in Katy, TX while reading Kiplinger's magazine and thinking about dinner.

The web site: http://www.belhaven.co.uk/row/belhaven/standrews.php

The bottle says "It is every golfers dream to play "The Old Course". Created entirely by the forces of nature, the historic links of St Andrews are believed to be where the first ever game was played.  Belhaven are proud to name one of their finest Scottish ales after St Andrews - the nation's patron saint, and the town known throughout the world as ... the home of golf."  The web site adds "The perfect mellow way to wind down after a tough round of golf.  3.9% ABV."

I found the beer to be a little less than stellar, a pleasant enough drink that didn't offer anything to make it stand out, nothing really to distinguish this beer from the many others that offer a nice lager style beer to drink when it's hot.
