As a lager specialist, we got fed up with Britains associating “lager” with bland mass-produced fizz. So we set out to brew a lager that was as far from the stereotype as possible and the traditional German Bock style fit the bill. The result is a balanced mix of rich, complex flavours and aromas that will make you rethink what “lager” means. Hersbrucker hops.

Delt med Rune på The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024, Manchester. Amber. Klar. Høyt kremaktig skum som daler sakte & etterlater litt lacing. Lett maltaroma. Smaken søt. Karamell. Nesten ikke bitterhet.

Keg at Sixty Million Postcards, Bournemouth. Mid-brown with a russet hue, cloudy, small beige head. Soggy malt and balsamic vinegar in the aroma. Taste is sweet with a sourish note, some chocolate, catarrh syrup, horehound notes. Short to medium finish. Weird little beer, not sure if the condition or the actual beer is a bit substandard.

Keg at Rose & Thistle, Frimley Green. As 'Bock'. Hazy light brown. Creamy white head. At first there some low key sweetness before grainy bitterness takes over. Develops some spice as I drink more. A hint if sourness to the latter. Medium bodied. Slick with added creamy mouthfeel. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent. Was expecting this to be overly sweet but there's very little of that. Not over complicated but could happily sink a fee of these. Although makes me think more of a Vienna Ale than a Bock.

Bottle from Stori Beer And Wine, Bala. Amber-Red with an extremely thin head. Has strongish sweet-malts with a dark-malt influence in its aftertaste.
