Commercial Description:
Oak Aged Lager.
Named from the Flemish word for Oak, Eiken Artois is a deliciously refreshing yet full flavoured oak aged lager brewed in Belgium to 4.6% ABV. Brewed with carefully selected aroma hops, this unique beer is then oak aged to create a fruity, hoppy lager with subtle floral notes and hints of vanilla.

On tap at Ye Grapes, London. Gold body, no heat. Malty nose. Some caramel in the taste, otherwise eggy. Watery and not much to it. Dissapointment.

Draught - Bedford’s Bar, Norwich. A pale brown colour with a small whitish head that lasted about as long as my interest for this beer did. Fairly basic nose characteristics; a sweet, maybe slightly oaky maltiness. Basic again are the flavours. Run of the mill lager qualities with a touch of sweetness and no real bitterness. Light in body with a dryish finish.

Draught, The Racehorse, Northampton. A hazy, pale brown coloured beer with a white head. The aroma and taste has sour hints presumably from the oak. Some fruit and actually a fair amount of character. Needs more body but the flavour does shows itself.

Bottle. Poured a dark gold colour with a thin white head. Plenty of oak in the aroma. The taste is dry with a slight bitter finish.

Bottle. Pretty bad really. Crappy lager base and some oakyness i guess. Pretty sure this won’t last long on the market. Couldn’t really see the point. Boring?
