Description
Black Isle was started by David Gladwin in 1998. An unemployed beer lover, he set out to make world-class beer using barley and hops, grown on organic farms, without the use of destructive chemicals. Black Isle Brewing Co is Scotland’s only organic brewery; pioneering craft beer from our beautiful, wild - and sometimes wet - Highland home. Organic is at the heart of everything we do - we believe in making great tasting beer using only natural ingredients, grown without the use of harmful chemicals. We care about seriously good beer, the environment and the future of our planet.

500 ml bottle from my friend in Aberdeen; BB 11 09. Label says 5% ABV. Nose is grassy hops and some earthy grains and light yeast. Clear pale gold with a big, lightly lacing, long lasting, yellow tinged head. Flavor is lightly bitter with lots of cereal graininess. One of th e tastiest pale lagers I have had, of course most have been American. Could drink this one anytime.
