Ayingerbrau Prinz Strong Lager

Formerly brewed at Samuel Smith
Style: Pale Lager
Tadcaster, England

A little bit stronger than the normal lager beer, but it has a fruit aroma and a sweet flavor too, althought lower.

[Draught] Golden coloured. A nice brew with some hops and apples in the aroma. Hoppy flavour with a bitter finish. A rather well crafted lager.

(Keg, King Arms, York, England) Average tasting lager from Samuel Smiths’ new brand name. Not as good as the D. Pils Strong Lager. Yellow colored lager pours with a thin head.

Like the D. Pils, but sharper and less alcoholic. Slightly lower in quality but still better than the big-brewery lagers of this world. Retired I think?

Draught, at the Cittie of Yorke, London.
Golden body with a light, very thin head. Apple aroma (SilkTork) with decent dryness and bitterness. With imagination it reminds me of Asahi Super Dry, just not as clear or crisp.

Draught at the Cittie of York, London. Golden yellow with thin head. Light hop flavor and even less malt. Not very good beer.

A Mes rate: If I hadn’t had this purchased for me and therefore not wanting to appear ungrateful, it would have remained unfinished. No different to all the other pale Ayingers I have tried. A cheap option next to Stella for the city gents who don’t know any better.

Nov, 2003 Keg, Cittie of Yorke, London. Sweet, apple nose with a hint of malt. Some fizz, some dry chalkiness, with a sweetish finish. Mostly bad. [1.8]
Oct, 2005. Keg, Glasshouse Stores, Soho. Crisply but not excessively carbonated with an unexciting but inoffensive malt flavour and a faint hop presence. [2.0]
