Description
"Auld Scots for Gooseberry" (From the Gaelic - Groseid)
Since the 16th century Scots monks and Alewives have brewed special concoctions from a blend of malts, wild spices and ripe gooseberries. Bringing together these various ingredients in a beer the brewer attempts to offer a drink which is refreshing, full of flavour and a pleasure to consume. Amongst the Scots literati of the 19th century the Green Grozet was immortalised as 'a most convivial' drink.
Comments
BBC » More than slightly fruity, or berryesque rather, but not too sweet. Light and almost a bit like a cider. Too bad I only have the one bottle to try.
