Black Isle Blonde
The brewery's flagship has been made on the farm for more than twenty years and is sold as an organic lager, though the method is its own: lager malt, Hallertau Tradition and Pacific Gem hops and the house ale yeast, fermented at the top and then cold-matured for up to eight weeks. The brewery lists biscuit, herbal and crisp notes on the palate and a grassy, mineral aroma. Blonde in colour and dry to the end.
