Low in ABV, not in character, Sunshine On Keith is an American session IPA, brewed in Speyside, and incredibly popular in Edinburgh!

Sunshine on Keith is our best-selling hit, packed with citrusy, American hops to give a flavour hit well above what you’d expect for 3.5% ABV. It’s zesty and refreshing, with a fantastic fruity aroma, and a lingering, pronounced bitterness, with deep grapefruit flavours. Perfect for long summer afternoons in a beer garden, or at the beach.

Malts: Munich, Wheat.
Hops: Northern Brewer, Cascade, Nugget, Rakau.

Bottle from Inverurie Whisky Shop. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, floral, elderflower, pretty juicy, straw and a touch of citrus. The is crisp, dry, clean, good hit of bitterness, straw, zesty grapefruit, pithy lemon, minerals and grass with a firmly dry finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. More hops than expected with a decent bitterness.

Cask handpull at The Berry Walmer. Clear gold lasting white head. Lightish in mouth but almost some honey and lemon flavour. Touch of lime on thd finish. Certainly hoppy. A little wheat. Vague soap. Odd. Didn’t expect this. Good bitterness on the finish. odd but entertaining in mouth. Good condition

On cask at the sraf. Golden with no head. Citrus but grainy on both nose and taste. Fairly balanced but could be more exciting.
