ISLE OF ARRAN BLONDE

Cloudy golden ale integrates resinous piney bitterness with tangy lemon-peeled peach-pineapple-papaya tropicalia and surging grapefruit rind bitterness, gaining dry floral hop tangent by mild malt whiskey finish. Herbaceous eucalyptus-spearmint undertones and serene white-peppered clove seasoning hastily dissolve as raw wheat astringency rises.

(CONCORD) RAPSCALLION PREMIER

Complex golden blonde ale comes across like a light barleywine as sweet candi-sugared Belgian-like yeast provides buttery honeyed creaminess, glazed medicinal warmth, and lilting cognac whim. Bruised orange, dried apricot, and pineapple embellish herbaceous floral hops and peat malt backdrop. Bubbly champagne-like fizz absorbs latent coriander-clove trace. Brewery defunct: 2008.
