Enticing citrus and tropical notes dance on your taste buds as you’re whisked away to sunnier shores. A juicy, refreshing pale and our newest and final core beer.
Best Enjoyed: On gloomy days in Scotland when you need an escape, or on bright days in Scotland when you want to celebrate the sun. Most days, then.
