Black Isle Organic Yellowhammer

500 ml capped bottle. Poured in a nonick pint glass a clear and copper-amber coloured B A with a one finger creamy, dense and slightly beige foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Active carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is fruity, grapefruits, lychees, citrus, sweety malts, and aromatic hops. The flavour is sweety malts, notes of caramel, fruity, lychees, grapefruits and aromatic hops. The mouthfeel is creamy, nice bitter and smooth. The texture is watery. This light bodied B A has a long bitter and fruity finish. Easy drinkable, very refreshing, tasty, a nice exemple of a Pale Ale, for me a more appropriate style as the Blonde Ale.

Pours out in a clear golden colour with a low thick white head. Pale malts lemony and spicy hops in the aroma. Medium to light-bodied with notes of straw, lemon-zest grass and mild flowers with undertones of pale and biscuity malts. Crisp medium-bitter if a bit short finish of flowers, citric fruits and grass.

500 ml bottle, at The 78, Glasgow. My notes say "Black Isle Organic Yellowhammer IPA, ABV 4.5%" - but I might have been "under the influence" ... Deep golden colour, large and lasting head. Unusual fruity aroma, very complex. The mouthfeel is maybe a bit thin - I drank it too cold though. Reasonably fruity and hoppy flavour, but not very exciting.
