Ardgour
5.1% Bitter
Boc Ban (Pale Buck) is a pale, crisp bitter ale from Aird Ghobhar (The Height of the Goat). In the mouth, a complex, spiced palate develops towards a long finish provided by the English Challenger hops used in the boil. A "beer drinker's beer," a Boc Ban provides the perfect end to a day's climbing in the Ardgour Hills, Nevis Range or Glencoe.
