Northern Light
Northern Light is a pale blonde ale, light, refreshing and citrusy, with a floral nose of lemon and sweet spice, then fresh bread, spicy hop, citrus and apricot, and a crisp, clean, floral finish. Perle, Hersbrucker and Saaz give a crisp hop character that never turns aggressive. The name comes from the aurora, a regular sight in the northern skies over Orkney.
