Named after the lights of the aurora, regularly viewed in our northern skies.
Citrus flavours combine with hints of fresh bread: giving way to spice, citrus and apricot hoppiness. It has a delicious crisp hop character without being overly aggressive. Perfectly refreshing.
Hops: Perle, Hersbrucker, Saaz
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat

Cask @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata, velata, schiuma bianca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di biscotto, leggero erbaceo, fruttato, floreale. In bocca รจ equilibrata, attacco maltato leggero con chiusura amara delicata. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Ok.

Bottle from the Orkney Brewery. Pours a clear golden/amber colour with a thinnish off-white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, citrus fruits, apricots, apples and hints of floral. Taste has the same notes again as the aroma. Very gentle carbonation with a smooth soft mouthfeel. Fairly light bodied. Very slightly hoppy finish. Nice elegant beer.

[Cask at the Standing Order (JDW), Edinburgh.] A pale amber pour with a tight white head; creamy aroma with a touch of citrus; similar taste, smooth and creamy with a hint of citrus and heather; and nothing to finish.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - caramel and just a hint of lemon. Taste - more lemon with biscuit this time. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture. Dry finish. Overall - decent.

Cask-conditioned at the Bon Accord, Glasgow 2 October 2018. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Leafy hops, rather dense, chewy malts, some hedgerow fruits and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.
