Named after the rare and elusive bird which migrates to Orkney to breed. One such bird landed in front of the brewery, so we decided to honour our new feathered friend, with a brew dedicated to its endeavour.
Corncrake is an irresistible golden ale. New world hops compliment the biscuity pale malt, to provide a thirst-quenching ale, with fruit flavours of lemon, apricot and peach.
Hops: Columbus, Styrian Goldings
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat

Bottle from the Orkney Brewery. Pours a clear light golden colour with a medium sized white head. Aromas of citrus fruits, biscuit and floral notes. Taste has more of the same notes with a gentle hoppy bitterness on the finish. Fairly light bodied, soft carbonation and a slightly oily mouthfeel. Overall it is a nice elegant tasting ale.

Bottle from Keith Tesco and drunk in Durham. Clear amber colour lasting white head. Some malt cereal and bread and biscuit. Some citrus hop. Yes drinkable enough. Easy drinking. Some decent bitterness on the finish. Ok.

500ml bottle: BBE June 2020. Bought in Kirkwall and drank on board my cruise liner on 3rd Sep 2019. Light amber body, no head. Mild aroma of both a malty and floral nature, taste leaning towards a malty sweetness with a little hop bitterness in the tail end of each sip.

Gold with a creamy white head that lingers. Soft floral aroma with cereal undertones. Taste is mildly bitter the whole way through. Quite crisp though and with a very clean feel. Refreshing. Body trends light but is not watery. Nothing particularly exceptional in terms of aroma or taste, but it does its thing well. Nice.
