Description

Islay Ales was founded by Paul Hathaway, Paul Capper and Walter Schobert in 2004. The brewery has a 4 barrel brewing plant that produces all their ales in cask and bottle-conditioned format; therefore, the beers are never pasteurised or filtered.

In July 2018 Donald MacKenzie and Mackay Smith - ''The Islay Boys'' - took over the brewery with one goal in mind: to reconquer the hearts and minds - and tastebuds! - of the good people of Islay, and of course the many visitors to the island, by brewing straightforward, taste-upfront beers. We rely on experience, taste and aroma to guide our brewing process.

500ml bottle obtained from the Scottish Aldi beer festival shelves along with around 30 other random bottles: opened on 24th Oct 2014. Amber body with a white head. The nose was a mixed bag of citrus notes, caramel sweetness and floral traces. The taste a pleasant blend, with the aforementioned aromas coming together in the flavours also. Mild hop bitterness in the finish.
