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 50 cl. Courtesy of yngwie. Pours an almost clear yellow with a dense and lacing white head. Typical greasy British hops in the nose. Medium body, some fruit, a little citrus - and again this tired british feel. Slightly metallic. No real bitterness. 150413

500 ml bottle. Pale golden body with a small white head. Mild grainy aroma with a hint of butterscotch. Flavour is sweet with a harsh unpleasant bitterness, grain, grass and butterscotch. Thin body and not particular nice in the aftertaste. Big disappointment.
