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

Cask at Victoria Spoons. It pours clear amber with a decent off-white head. The nose is earthy, wood, brown bread, caramel, berry, grainy and biscuit. The taste is bitter-sweet, toasty, nutty, light caramel, biscuit, honeyed grain and some berry with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A well- rounded, easy-drinking bitter.
