Hercules Premium Lager is craft brewed in small batches by master brewers. Every pound of malt, every whole real hop is weighed out and added by hand. It's brewed more slowly than mass produced beer so that time and yeast can work in harmony to remove the harshness that 'fast' beer can retain. The result is a distinctive sparkling lager with a delicate citrus nose.

50cl bottle of Goodwood Sussex Lager from Tescos, Camberley. A straw coloured pour with no head but some carbonation; grainy aroma; simple crisp lager taste; and a sweet grassy finish. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to recommend either.

Bottle at home in London, shared with the Lyoli - picked up at a Tesco, I think. Branded as ’Sussex Lager’. Pours crystal clear gold, effervescent with a fine, creamy white head. Simple bread and cereal on the nose with hints of hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with further simple, biscuity pale malts, hints of white sugar, lemony hops, faint hay and grass. Light in body with average carbonation. Sweet, somewhat sugary on the finish with minimal bitterness, just more biscuits, white bread, straw. Simple lager. Easy drinking.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear pale gold, thin, short-lived head. Aromas of lemon and light straw. Taste is more lemon, light malt. Pretty dull to be honest. OK.

Bottle from Booths. Golden-yellow and loses its head fast. Bridges the gap between ale and lager with its texture, much more like the later in nose and taste, but not a great effort by any means.

Bottle from Mouton Rouge Canterbury. Clear gold lasting white head. Lager yeast malt aroma. It’s kinda ok, I can see what they are going for, but just don’t quite make it. Some lemon, some hop on the finish. Still a bit of puke in the flavour. Not terrible, but not exactly good either. But a big gulp and it’s fine.

Yet another beer by this brewery where they don’t add their name to the ’credits’. Picked up in ’Rhythm and Booze’ near Blundell Park, Cleethorpes. 330ml bottle: best before 13 Nov 2012, opened during one of my random drinking evenings on 16 Nov 2012, some three days late. The beer was poured into a Duvel glass at home: golden with a slight haze with a fading white head from the start. The beer had a sour feel from the begining, might have been skunked in the fairly bright shop, I’ve only had it a week. Bland and boring, glad I only bought one of them. To be fair it is really just another supermarket brew from Hepworth and should be viewed as such.
