Ettaler Monastery was founded in Bavaria over 400 years ago and produces several ales and lagers, including this beer – was brewed under licence by Cotleigh Brewery. Using Ettaler yeast, this is a Bavarian-style lager, tawny in colour, with a typical haze to the appearance, with hints of lemon on the nose, a sweet, hoppy taste on the palate and a smooth, creamy character.

Cask during a Wetherspoon Beer Festival in 2010. No notes as pre-Ratebeer for me but rating transferred from the Facebook Beerseek app.

From cask. Pours clear to cloudy deep orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is caramelish and slight roasted. Light bitter and subdued fruity. Dry roasted malt. Lingering malty finish with a bit of bitterness.

Cask-conditioned at the Staple hill Oak, Bristol 14/11/10. Slightly hazy brown with a decent, off-white head. Grainy, bready malt aroma with some caramel and orange fruit. Flavour had some toffee, citrus fruit and dough before a dryish finish. Unusual, but ok.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Light amber, slight white head, moderate prickles. A bit of lemon, a bit of grass, but it’s pretty weak, watery and bland (are they going for a genuine recreation of a macro lager....?!)

Spoons Fest! Hazy (hazy??!) dark amber beer. Tiny white head. Low carbonation!! Dusty tired malt with some green apple. A little orange hop was the only welcome flavour before the dry finish. Fails on every count. I like lagers but this is dismal! I’d honestly rather have a Carling Cold than another of these!

Cask at The Central Bar JDW. Pours a lightly hazy amber-gold with a thin, filmy head. Light bread malt nose. Faintly sweet with sour malts and some fruity, earthy and doughy notes. Light bodierd with fine carbonation. Finishes with light earth bitters. Could be off a bit. Not very good this.
