Appearance: brown to red in the glass. Nose: generously malty with subtle hop notes and hints of fruity fermentation esters. Palate: nutty crystal malt to the fore, with a hint of chocolate malt roastiness, leading into a satisfyingly balanced malt hop middle. The end is nutty, with a lingering hop note. Summary: a rewarding world class premium ale made with maris otter pale ale malt & dash of chocolate malt, with two classic english hops for bitterness and aroma. St magnus is a beer with a fabulous malt hop balance. If it’s well vented the hops just win through in the flavour profile.

500 ml bottle, thanks to my beerpal Olav who brought it home from the Orkneys. ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate white head, decent lacing. Moderate but nice aroma with fruity and malty notes, hints of nuts and toffee. Moderately malty and nutty flavour with "dusty" English hops throughout. Okay, but not remarkable.
