Skerry Sharks
A pale ale built around citrus: zesty, with grapefruit and lemon in front. Citra and Mosaic are the hops, and at 4.4% ABV it stays light on its feet. Lacada began as a father and son nano-brewery in Portrush, and more than 400 co-owners stand behind it today. The taproom sits at 7A Victoria Street in Portrush.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Skerry Sharks
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.
