The Puffin, or 'tammie norrie' as it is affectionately known in Orkney, brings a smile to the face of anyone lucky enough to see it. Also known as the 'clown of the sea', the puffin is an unmistakable seabird due to its comical appearance - red and black eye markings and bright orange legs.
Puffin is a burnished bronze beer with aromas of spices, sweet nutty malt and dark fruits. An inviting rich malt palate is balanced with notes of herbs and spicy fruitiness.
Hops: Bramling Cross, Targert
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat

Bottle. Dark amber coloured beer with a strong head. The aroma is lightly toffee and roasted, and the flavour is toffee with good bitterness and roastedness. Overall a nice strongly flavoured bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

20th Nov 2017. Shrewsbury Beer Share Group Meeting in Chez Sophie. 500ml bottle: BBE Jun 2018. This was one of my offerings. The body was clean and clear, amber/tawny in colour, the head an off-white affair. Malty, woody, nutty and semi-sweet in nature. My sweet tooth really liked it, even the growing bitterness in the finish.

Bottle shared with TO and ED at TO's 16.09.17. Clear dak chestnut colour. Off-white head and lacing. Fine and fruity aroma of medium dark malt, noble hops, grass and roasted nuts. Good and lasting aftertaste.

500 ml bottle, from Coop Mega Kleppe. ABV is 4.5%. Beautiful clear copper colour, large to moderate head, slightly off-white. Aroma according to the commercial description: "sweet nutty malt, cedarwood and dark fruits" - I agree! Flavour / "on the palate": again referring to the commercial description: "Rich nutty malt, sweet smooth blackcurrant and lemon mousse leading to blackcurrant leaf and wood notes with a dry woody, spicy nutmeg finish." I agree again! - but I am not too happy with the woody part. Still a fairly decent beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Roms (JDW), Bristol March 2015. Pale amber with a decent, white, head. Rich, malty sweetness, with marmalade notes, some green herbs and a hint of pine, before a dryish finish. Pleasant.

Cask at the Pump House, Shirley. Poured a clear medium amber with a long lasting frothy white head. The aroma is light malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light woody, nutty hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
