Our Lager takes its inspiration from the German style of lager, Helles. Ours, like the first Helles beer that was brewed back in 1894, has a sweet, malty flavour balanced with a light aromatic hoppiness that makes it very refreshing. We use Naked Golden Oats to make our Lager. Naked Golden Oats are grown without husks so that even more sweetness and flavour can be extracted from the grains during brewing.

Festival pint draft at the Royal Mile Tavern in Edinburgh, Scotland. It pours a clear gold color with a small off-white head and very good retention. Absolutely no aroma. Soft pale malt flavor. Clean and smooth with a very faint bready note in the finish. More of a pale lager profile versus a Helles in my opinion. Light body. Medium carbonation. Not bitter.

500ml can, clear golden pour, big, fluffy white head. Light grains in the nose, some cereals, but more on the vegetal side, with some unpleasant sweetness, and some grassy, green, slightly herbacious hops. Body is full for a lager, and the carb while it looks very active is creamy, and soft. The finish is sweet, and a little corny, with some minerals and wet paper. Wont be buying this again,

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. L'amaro è discreto. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, cereali, erba e agrumi.
