Description
The Cromarty Brewing Co is a family run business consisting of Craig, Chap and Jenni Middleton. Craig, our fanatical founding brewer studied the science of brewing at Heriot Watt University and the art of beer making in the student accommodation and flat basements. After finishing the course he went on to do some work in various breweries to gain valuable experience. It was during this time that he decided he wanted to get his own beers to market.

In the spring of 2011 construction of the brewery started on the shed works and some awesome stainless steel was ordered from Bavarian Brewery Technologies. Hectic times and long hours later led to the first of the casks rolling out on the 19th December 2011.

Pours a very hazy, slightly murky pale golden. Medium sized, rather compact white head; shows good retention but little lacing. Quite good intensity and freshness in the aroma: cerealy, slightly dough-like base, followed by resinous/piney bitterness and fruity notes of mainly melon (followed by peach, tangerine), perhaps the slightest spicy/prickly hops hint. Taste notes follow the aroma; quite good intensity as the smell suggested, a pretty strong softness/juiciness (but also a slightly harsh/rubbery one). Medium sweetness and bitterness, good overall balance though as mentioned you're left with a bit of harsh sensation. Light to medium bodied (definitely thicker than i expected for the abv, partly from the juicy component), medium carbonation, feels quite lively in the mouth. Quite good flavour-wise, not that good overall.
