From the Valhalla Brewery in Unst, comes Island Bere. This ale is made mainly from BERE and as far as we know, it is the first time BERE has been used as the main ingredient in commercial brewing. A quality beer brewed from bere - a heritage that Vikings are thought to have introduced to Britain in the 8th century. With an ABV of 4.2%, Island Bere is a golden bitter ale with cascade hops which gives it a nice blackcurrant/liquorice aftertaste.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Like all bottled beers from this brewery, it is filtered to remove all remaining yeast (but possibly not pasteurised?). ABV is 4.2%. Brewed with "bere", traditional wild barley. Deep golden colour, low white head. Malty and distinctly "dusty" aroma, weak hints of fruit. The flavour has much of the (lack of) character of a standard English bitter, "dusty" notes again, quite dry, with a very moderate fruitiness in the finish. The aftertaste has a distinct hoppy bitterness, with a hint of resin. I’ve had better, I’ve had worse.
