On our little organic farm, deep in the Highlands of Scotland, we are occasionally thrown a curve ball. For all the beautiful sunrises, sunsets, snow-laden winters and glorious summer skies, we do get the occasional breath of wind.

Recently, several reached over 80mph - leaving us without power and with 10 trees down. As best as we tried, candles, and dogs on treadmills, didn't quite cut it. We nearly lost 15,000 litres of beer - but didn't, through skill, hard work and pure luck.

What you have here is a glorious Euro-hopped pale, dry hopped with Callista and Ariana; light, bitter and immensely drinkable.

On tap at the Black Isle bar, Inverness Thursday 29th September 2022 prior to catching the Caledonian Sleeper train tonight to London Euston. Pours hazy gold with a white head, feels quite interesting trying a cask beer in here after mostly drinking keg here on Monday. Taste is citrus, soft moutheel, pleasant stuff.

Golden, hazy pour with a decent head; aromas of orange/citrues, hops, white bread/malt, hints of herbs/grass. Tastes are quite similar with a peppery aftertaste. Crisp and sessionable

Can picked up at the brewery. It pours hazy golden with a decent, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and zippy, orange blossom, tangerine, apricot, marmalade, floury bread and some green grassy vibes. The taste is crisp, dry, floury bread, slightly chalky, floral, orange blossom, apricot, persimmon, light peppery spice, grass and greenness. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Quite light and fresh. Drinks easy.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange pith, bread and minerals. Flavour of lemon and biscuit. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Dry and pithy.
