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. Itβs a clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Itβs citrusy and biscuity on the nose, with a spiced, herbal touch and some grassy hints. Itβs rather thin on the palate, as expected due to the ABV level, dry, and with flavors of pale biscuits and lemon notes. Grass and some pine cones too. A touch of bitterness towards the end. A decent beer indeed, with some quenching qualities, but itβs not a beer Iβll buy again. 121110
