A Premium Session Lager with all the balanced flavours of a traditional crisp, clean German lager, WEST 4 is light in colour and body. It strikes the perfect balance between malty sweet and bitter hops flavours to deliver an easy-drinking lager with a refreshing zest finish.

Ayrshire Coastal Walking Mini Break Beer#5. Paisley beer breaking the journey to Ayr. Quite a fizzy lager, with not a huge amount going on in taste, although its clean tasting with a light sweetness. However, its heavy pilsner style aroma is somewhat appealing.

Draft @ Moxy SEC, Glasgow. Clear gold with a small white head due to being served the British way. Aroma of vanilla and grains. Taste of grains, straw and hints of lemons. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Dull. I had higher expectations when the barkeeper advertised it as a German-style beer made by locals from around the corner.

330ml can, as WEST 4% Session Lager, part of a boxed four pack: BB 17th May 2021. Drank at home on 12th Dec 2020. Bright golden body, clear and clean, smooth white head on top. Mild hop nose, soft malty taste. It's fine but not going to test your senses too greatly, refreshing enough and easy to drink.
