A premium lager of purity and freshness brewed using Galaxy and Cascade hops and the finest English malted barley. Then for a cleaner, fruitier and more aromatic finish, re-fermented with Champagne yeast and a ‘dosage’ of rare Nelson Sauvin hops. This is a lager for people who love beer.

Bottle from Saint Pierre’s Seafood bar, Shrewsbury Market Hall. I must admit the reason I picked this up was because I was curious about the use of Champagne yeast in this, but generally found it a bit lacklustre. There is some wine-like citrus to this, but the overall flavour seems a little weak with little trace of the Saaz or Cascade hops it apparently contains.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear, bright gold with a creamy, white froth. Some funky citrus fruits in the nose, pale biscuity malts. Light sweet flavor, some mis-placed funkiness, mango, lemon, light grass. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Funky tang to finish, some juicy citrus fruits. Odd. Not sure if this is totally intentional. As it is, not awesome. (2.9)Bottle at a ChrisO tasting - London. Pours clear, light yellow with a fine, white film for a head. Grain, corn and hay comprise the aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor with sugar, dough and faint grassy bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Light sweetness to finish with mild doughy bread and hay. A weak effort here. (2.9)

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 03/2014
Aroma is slightly stale with grassy hops, grainy malt, some fruits, hints of hay, gooseberry bush and nettles. Flavour has butter, fruits, nettles, grass, some sweetish grainy malt and hints of honey. Somewhat sticky finish. Quite funky and fruity for a premium lager, due to the champagne yeast I suppose. Good.

A clear, light yelow beer with a medium, but lasting, blond head. Aroma is nice slightly aromatic, malts, grass, some fruits and citrus. Taste of almost only malts and grass, only hint of aromatic fruits, bitterness is mild. Almost medium bodied, balanced to drink. The aroma promise quite interesting and aromatic beer, but then the taste is quite modest, a positive thing is that there aren’t any faults.
