Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised
A full-bodied lager with lots of malt and hop character. A touch hoppier than many lagers yet perfectly balanced with lots of fruity hop character and fragrance.

Poured an orange copper with a thin but foamy white head. Malty aroma, but little nose to speak of. Nice crisp flavor, refreshing. Slightly hoppy, not very bitter, decently malty. Nothing too complex, but drinkable.

This lager flattens out way too quickly-- the hops in the nose leave the party just when it should be getting started.The mouth feel is a little too thin. Not their best.

Golden appearance and slightly carbonated which was a bit off putting.Excellent clean and biting taste. Definitely one of the better organic beers.

This is proof that you can find a decent lager that’s produced in the United Kingdom. An appealing gold color, snow-white head, and a nice hoppy flavor. A true pleasure to drink.

Pours a pale gold with fluffy head that diminishes quickly. Hits you first with some crisp, clean malt flavor, more malt than most lagers can claim. But it does have enough hop presence to balance it out perfectly. I don’t expect a lager to be deep and complex, and this is no different. It sure goes down easy though.

Pours bright gold into an English pint. Bright white fluffy micro head with excellent retention. A little flat with a slight metallic flavor and a bitter hop finish.

Pours a nice clear yellow a little darker than most lagers. Some aromas of corn and english hops. Flavor is full and finishes dry with a little pucker at the end. This is my favorite lager and is right on par for style. Smooth and drinkable but with flavor.

Pours a beautiful, deep gold with a nice white head. Aroma is slightly sweet whitebread and malts. The taste starts out surprisingly malty and finishes with a slight hop twinge. A superb lager, absolutely delicious.
