A dry-hopped Helles lager with Lemondrop from the US and Mandarina Bavaria from Germany. Both have great aroma and together create a zesty, refreshing lager with real character.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has light grass and hay with some bread and a hint of sweet grain underlying. Flavor has earthy grain and hay with a growing straw note.

[440ml can from Windsor Farm Shop.] A bright pale amber pour with a lasting cream head, and moderate carbonation; light citrusy aroma; surprisingly full bodied with a grainy body and some lemon and mandarin pith; then a dry floral finish. A rather good attempt at a craft lager.

440ml can from the brewery shop. Poured a clear golden colour with a very short-lived fizzy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light floral citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, watery, crisp, fresh, light citrus fruit, light dry floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
