Light Ness
Light Ness shows apple and zesty citrus on the nose, then a pithy tangerine bitterness, a straw gold session pale ale at 3.8% ABV. Galaxy, Columbus and Citra hops go into the brew with clear Highland water. After the 2016 rescue of the brand, the Loch Ness range returned to the shelves quickly, with the brewery's own heritage guiding its development.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Light Ness
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
