Crisp hops perfectly balance the biscuit pale ale malt to provide a thirst quenching ale with soft citrus( apricot and peach) flavours throughout. Corncrake is named after the rare and elusive bird which enjoys the natural habitats of Orkney.

Bottle shared on the train from Inverness to Wick, from Tomlinsons, 20/10/13. Clear pale golden/blonde with a good sized white covering. Nose carries traces of diacetyl, light citric zing, toasted malts. Taste comprises light citrus, straw, lemon zest, toasted malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light grassy bitterness in the finish. So so GB.

At Copenhagen Beer Festival 2013. Hazy golden with a small white head. Grassy and malty aroma with a hint of diacetyl. Dry and fruity flavour on a malty backbone, with a pleasant, mild bitterness

Frisk litt syrlig duft med en anelse duft av honning. Fin gyllen farge. Lite dekkende skum. Grei syrlig smak.

50cl bottle from Provenanance Wines. Pours golden with a nicely proportioned head. The nose is honey and white flowers. The taste has more honey, going into butterscotch with a malty finish. The palate is not as good as the nose promised - a bit sweet on the finish with a start and middle that doesn’t really go anywhere, just cloying. Overall, more disappointing as it went on.

Bouteille: Pale greenish-golden, a bit unclear, small lacy white head, distinctive peachy-floral hoppy nose, some pale malt detectable; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied and pretty soft; lingering aromatic citrussy-floral finish, not too bitter, some fruitiness detectable. Great! Lovely…
