| Zak Avery's Selection - The Highland Brewing Co Mixed Case Product Type: Mixed Packs Item Price: £26.00 |
A mixed pack selection from beer expert Zak Avery. Zak has mixed a case of beers from Orkney-based Highland Brewing Co, and in this video tastes through a few of them.
The pack consists of 2 bottles of each of the brewery's beers: St Magnus Ale, Scapa Special, Orkney IPA, Orkney Blast, Best and Porter
Highland Orkney Best
Size: 50cl
ABV: 3.6%
Pale and golden, straw yellow in colour. Delicate fruity hop with a hint of maris otter maltiness. Soft malt with a fruity hoppy middle, drier hop in the finish which lingers pleasantly.
Highland Orkney Blast
Size: 50cl
ABV: 6%
Pale and golden in colour, rich fruity malt hints of yeast, with earthy, woody, hop with honey and alcohol notes. Generously malty with balanced spicy hop in the middle leading, to a lingering hop finish, with honeyed fruity malt and a hint of warming alcohol. A stunning stronger ale, with balanced flavours from maris otter malt and English hops added early and late in the copper. One to take great care with as it is so drinkable.
Highland Orkney IPA
Size: 50cl
ABV: 4.8%
Pale and golden, lemony citrus hops with a hint of grapefruit and spicy, peppery goldings. Full on hops – styrian goldings to the fore, goldings giving a balanced middle and finally the rich malty fullness of maris otter as a backbone. A modern IPA, not overly bitter but still nicely hoppy and at 4.8%, just about a session IPA for a sensible night’s drinking. The hop profile is nothing short of stunning.
Highland Orkney Porter
Size: 27.5cl
ABV: 9%
A peedie grain of Orkney, nothing plinky about this one. Vintage of 2009.
Highland Scapa Special
Size: 50cl
ABV: 4.4%
Hints of fruit esters and malt, with light hop notes. Soft nutty maltiness with accessible hoppiness. The middle is balanced, leading to a long malt hop finish, which the hops eventually win.a satisfying world class pale ale, made with maris otter pale ale malt & a blend of four hops from America, Germany, New Zealand & Slovakia
Highland St. Magnus Ale
Size: 50cl
ABV: 4.5%
Brown to red in the glass, the nose is generously malty with subtle hop notes and hints of fruity fermentation esters. 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. A rewarding world class premium ale
