Our core-range Super Gold Premium Lager, which we also refer to amongst ourselves as our "Adjunct Lager", or "Rustic Pils". This beer is a take on some of our favourite beers and is brewed with extra pale malt, and a healthy proportion of oats, wheat, flaked barley, and other adjuncts we feel fit the rustic nature of this beer. Fermented with a German lager strain and hopped with UK Admiral and UK Challenger hops from Brook House Hops in Herefordshire for a pronounced hop character.

Can. Pours clear golden with airy white head. Faint aroma of yeast and malt, with hints of hops. Bitter, hoppy and metallic flavour with acidic notes and touches of malt and yeast. Bitter, metallic and hoppy aftertaste with estery touches. Not impressive.

Can, 4.8%. Refreshing hay and dust aroma with a mild fruity and floral hoppiness. Clear pale golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is malty and dusty with a distinct. Not a high bitterness, but woody and astringent without being unpleasant.

(Can, 0.44l, at Pien Shop, 20231104) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, malts and honey. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, honey, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had honey, malts and bitterness. A tasty grainy brew but the honey side of pilsner malts was too strongly present.
