Ptarmigan

About this beer

A traditional Scottish Bitter from Harviestoun Brewery, combining the familiar malt character of a classic British ale with an expressive combination of dried fruit and citrus aromas. Pouring a clear pale golden colour, Ptarmigan opens with generous notes of dried fruit and citrus peel, creating an inviting aromatic profile that complements its traditional brewing character. A rounded malt foundation introduces comforting biscuit flavours, providing balance and depth beneath the beer's brighter fruit notes. The palate is clean and dry, with a pleasant hop bitterness that develops gradually and contributes to a satisfying, lingering finish. At 4.5% ABV, Ptarmigan offers a well-balanced and approachable drinking experience, showcasing the interplay between traditional malt sweetness, expressive aromas and refreshing bitterness. Produced by Harviestoun Brewery, established in 1983 and recognised for its award-winning Scottish beers, Ptarmigan reflects the brewery's longstanding commitment to quality ingredients and traditional brewing craftsmanship.
