Local Beer Showdown - Trade Winds vs. Red Smiddy

In order to compensate for my immature palate and inadequate beer reviews, my purchase of two beer this evening inspired me to blog as to my preference for one beer over another. After dinner at home this evening we went for drinks at the Malt Shovel, where I had a pint of Cairngorm Trade Winds followed by a Kelburn's Red Smiddy, both real ales from independent Scottish breweries. I found the Trade Winds to be a better, fuller tasting beer, though appreciated the stronger flavours of the Smiddy. I'd have to give the nod to the Trade Winds.
