Orkney Norther Light

Categories: [ Beer/Orkney ]

Orkney_Northern_Light

“citrus fruit, apricot and hop-resin aromas… malt character… hoppy, zesty approachability”

What the hell is approachability? Anyway, the beer's quite citrusy, but the after-taste has this I-don't-know-what I don't like in Germanic lagers. Contains malted barley and malted wheat.

Sinclair Breweries Ltd, The Orkney Brewery, Stromness, Orkney, Scotland. 4.0% alcohol.

Chocolate and coffee, slightly acid too. Contains malted barley and malted wheat.
