Sailor Hagars Honey Pilsner

(Draught) Pours a medium, foamy white head with a amber body. Nose of mild English malts and a touch of honey sweetner. The flavour lines-up similarly with the additional Czech Pils hoppiness and bitter finish. Somewhat average at best.

I don’t know if they’ve changed the recipe since I last had this, but it seems to be improved. Pale golden, creamy white head. Pale malt aroma with some light honey underneath but also a fairly assertive Saaz aroma. Spicy flavour with a touch of breadiness. Lingering bitterness. Quite a surprise, actually.

This was always the crapper of the Hagar’s lineup, but it’s gone straight up macro since Howe Sound took over. Light straw colour. Grainy aroma with doughy yeast note and ultra bland hops. I doubt they’re using teutonic nor slavic varieties anymore. Probably more like Willamette or something equally flavorless, and in miniscule quantities.

Golden colour with a small head. Aroma is light honey and malts. Some hop flavour but mostly thin and sweet.

Light golden in color with a light sweet honey aroma. Mostly hop flavour with a bit of honey, poor aftertaste.
