Kilchoman Pale uses malted barley direct from Kilchoman Distillery to give the beer a smoky, peaty taste, just like Islay’s single malts.

Bottled picked up Kilchoman. It pours very lightly hazy golden with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is nice peat smoke upfront, fruity, citrus action, cereal, toasty grain, Kilchoman wash (tasted that earlier in the day!) and hay. The taste is pretty tangy upfront, sour even, orange citrus fruit, tangerine, kumquat, dry, bit of smoke, toasty grain and cereal. Medium body and fine to low carbonation. Does really smell like the kilchoman wash! Taste is a bit weird and sour though... Unusual for sure.

500ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Smoky, malty aroma, hints of peat and leather. Taste is bitter hoppy, peaty, smoky, citrusy hoppy overtones with a lemon touch; super soft palate, gentle carbonation. Unbalanced, inharmonious, needs an "emulsifier" to link peat and citrus notes.

Bottle at the Kilchoman brewery bar. Nose - orange fruit and big peat smoke note. Taste - the peat smoke totally dominates the orange fruit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a drying, smoky sensation Overall - the peat smoke was a bit much with the orange fruit but at least interesting.
