Island Life
Island Life is a pale golden ale with citrus aromas, mouth-watering grapefruit and peach and a crisp, bitter, zesty finish. Citra, El Dorado and Cascade ride on pale and wheat malt, and at 3.7% it stays light in strength. The name salutes island life on Orkney, regularly named one of the finest places to live in the British Isles. Bronze at SIBA Scotland 2025.
