Our take on the most popular German beer style. A crisp and dry lager that's light in colour with subtle fruit character.

Tap at Flat Iron, London. I didn't realise it was the brewery name so i expected smoke! In the end what I got was a well enough made lager. Little to comment on. Clean and rather dull.
