Tasting Summary

| Hogan Sampling |  | 29 Nov 2025 | A taster of this Scottish tawny coloured beer passed it as a suitable accompaniment to a Spoon's curry. It is named after a traditional Scottish pudding made with flour, breadcrumbs, dried fruit, suet, sugar and spices mixed with some milk to bind it. It presented very good head and lacing which hung on to the end. A gentle bitter hoppiness rising aided by its Bramling Gold, First Gold and Fuggles hops. A fruity note or two bobbing up with suggestions of ginger and spice in on the act. A gentle spicy bitterness on its toboggan downwards. The Orkney Brewery, set up in March 1988 and one of Scotland's first microbreweries, is housed in the former schoolhouse in Quoyloo, a mile from Skara Brae in the centre of Orkney. |
