In creating and naming Island Life, we wanted to reflect how great a place Orkney is to live, something that’s regularly highlighted in national surveys. This is a very special beer, just like the islands, and we also hope it’ll perform a great ambassadorial role, helping reinforce Orkney’s worldwide reputation for outstanding food and drink.”

Island Life had been brewed with Citra, Cascade, and El Dorado hops from the US. These offer superb strength of flavour, all wrapped up in a light body of pale malt with a relatively low strength. There are mouth-watering flavours of grapefruit and peach, which lead to a crisp, bitter, zesty finish, to be enjoyed time and time again.
