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. It’s a clear, golden beer with a small, white head. It’s citrusy and biscuity on the nose, with a spiced, herbal touch and some grassy hints. It’s 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 it’s not a beer I’ll buy again. 121110

Good looking and hoppy ale that releases a few fruits which are its flavours.
