An amber colored ale, Black Isle Red Kite is brewed using only the highest quality Maris Otter pale and crystal malts for flavor and body. Challenger hops for bittering with the late addition of Styrian Goldings creates a balance of quenching citrus and malt, and a classic aromatic finish to this refreshing ale. This beer is bright amber with a toasted nut flavor and powerful orange fruit aroma.

Cask at The Bandstand Nairn. It pours clear red - am er with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, jammy fruits, jam roly poly, sponge cake, blood orange, brown bread and muffin. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, toffee, caramel, jammy fruits, dried fruit, jam roly poly, toasty, touch of wood, peppery spice, twist of citrus, toasted nut, zingy, zesty and blood orange with a drying finish. Average body and fluffy cask carbonation. Impressed to finally find this on cask. Decent.

Backlog August 2016. Bottle. Clear, dark golden body under a big, dense tan head. Aroma is malty with some cellar notes. Taste is sweet and malty, some caramel and dry fruit, OK bitterness. Fine body and same aftertaste. Decent, quite straight forward.

Совершенно не мой стиль, но зато очень питкий и приятный. Умеренная горчинка на финише, а так солод и какие то специи легкие.

Gets better as it warms. Bitter and gut. They didn't use a hand pump, they had a different contraption which seems easier to pour. Tastes legit though.
