A wonderfully refreshing beer, light and very hoppy. Extremely tasty and well deserving of the many accolades this beer has received. A must try!
I have tried this ale many times since and have recently reevaluated the beer. There has been a distinct change and the ale now no longer has the sharp asertive hoppiness of the original.Once an 8 now still good but only a 7. Something has changed!

| This is one of my favourite beers and when it's on form it's unbeatable. Light and hoppy it is considered by many to be a "lager drinker's beer" and is definitely a good introduction to the world of real ale. My mate had a theory a few years ago that some of this was being produced "off site" as usually it was quite hoppy but sometimes it could also have a slightly bitter aftertaste and on other occasions it could almost be described as a wee bit fruity ! I had an opportunity to challenge one of the guys who runs the Caley Brewery about this and he had a bit of a laugh about it. Turns out there are three brewers there who each have slightly different ideas about how the beer should be made - hence the different 'versions' ! four and a half out of five for Edinburgh's premier ale ... |

| The world became a better place when Deuchars IPA was installed as a regular beer in my local. From being a very occasional treat in this neck of the woods, this became my regular tipple. A dream come true. Very distinctive light hoppy bitter flavour, but not so light as to be a "summer ale". One of the all-time greats. |

| A hoppy and maybe floral tasting ale. But to be up their with the best it needs some fruitiness and more strength! |

| Light and Floral... Yep, Refreshing... Maybe, Tasty... Not Particularly. This was a little too weak (3.8%) and a little too pale for my liking. Fans of this style of beer should give it a go. |

| Very light and refreshing bitter with a hoppy character. Good for a summer afternoon pint. |

| Pale golden classic refreshing session ale. Loverly combination of hops and malt with an underlying fruitiness. A long bitter finish completes this excellant drink |

I had the opportunity to have 5 Pints in the Breweries Hospitality Bar at a CAMRA Meeting in Edinburgh and it was far better than what we get down south.
Also people have said that it has altered it not surprising as stated in a previous comment.
Turns out there are Three Brewers there who each have slightly different ideas about how the beer should be made - hence the different ‘versions’!
But it is still a Very Drinkable BEER
