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.

Tap at the Alehouse. Pours dark amber. Aroma is soft toasted malts, some pine. Body is light and bitter, low carbonation, rather sweet. Also sweet on the palate. Quite good, but a bit boring.

Bottle. Amber/copper coloured. Nice foamy head. Mild aroma of toffee, nuts and hints of citrus fruits. Taste is malty, slighty fruity, a little bit nutty, caramell and bitter liquorice. Finish is quite bitter. Low to medium carbonation. Ok.

Bottle from Beer52. Deep copper with a lasting beige head. Toffee and minerals at first, then warming juicy chewy malt, creamy butterscotch, berries, orange and earth with a dry finish. Not big punchy flavours, but great balance and good depth. A top-notch and very satisfying bitter.

Can from Aldi. Hazy amber body with a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of toffee, earth, copper pennies and fruit cake. Flavour of red apple, brown bread, liquorice root and raspberry. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Light and sharp. Pretty good.
