An amber colored ale, Black Isle Red Kite is brewed using only the highest quality Maris Otter pale and crystal malts for flavor and body. Challenger hops for bittering with the late addition of Styrian Goldings creates a balance of quenching citrus and malt, and a classic aromatic finish to this refreshing ale.

Live Rating. 22nd November 2009. Enjoying this beer now in a bottle at home. Pours slightly hazy amber with a thick pale brown head. A touch of nuttiness with toasted malt aromas in the beginning; citric hop ahd some dry bitterness late with quite a dry, bitter finish on a slightly textured and refreshing mouthfeel. A very good bottle.

22nd June 2008. Dark amber beer. Lovely sharp tangy floral fruitiness. Minerally with a sharp carbonated bite in the finish. A bit different from all the other Scottish beers tried today and refreshing.
