I noted earlier that Orkney has 3 breweries.

This is from the brewery that had been around for ages.

It is, of course, a tremendous beer. Red ales are among my favourite type of beer, so big fan of this.

Absolutely love the design of this and the story on the back.
Unfortunately it doesn't have any of the noted blackcurrant and mandarin notes that are, erm, noted.
In actual fact this tastes very much like a wheat beer rather than an IPA.
It's ok. Got it from Aldi they're currently doing a Scottish beers promotion.


I picked up a bottle of this last week, couldn’t finish it, I thought it was barking. Agree about the wheat beer comment.

Another effort from Aldi's Scottish beers promotion.
It's a bit watery but at 3.7% that's to be expected. Of course at said percentage that's why it's a Session IPA.

try the hazy ipa from stewart brewing. love it

One that sounded so promising but ultimately was a bit meh - Barney's sherbet sour. I'd been quite surprised that the local Aldi had introduced a bunch of new stock, and I'd been looking forward to this one given the blurb about it being reminiscent of the dib-dabs and fountains of old.

It doesn't taste of anything much...very slight Refreshersy tang on the finish and that's it.
