Previously known as Oat Lager.

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.

Draft at Firefly. Barman swore that this is the best lager in the world. Well, I haven't tasted every lager in the world, so I guess I'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Clean, crisp, fresh black pepper. Very tasty.

Rocky white head on an unclear pale golden coloured body. Malt, biscuit, grain & stone fruit aroma. Medium bodied, sparkling with a cloying back. Heavy malt, biscuit, bready & fruity tastes with a bitter finish. Heavy lager. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Oat Lager - Admiral & Challenger on 04 Jul 2022 at 20:01 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5.

Can from the interweb I believe. It pours clear pale yellow with a white cap. The aroma is sweet, slightly oily, has a honeydew melon character, touch of greengage, gooseberry full, grain, cereal and granola. The taste is fairly crisp, dry, snappy, grassy bitterness, green fruits, melon, greengage, pear, white grape, nip of spice, toasty grain and straw with a drying finish. Average body and fine+ carbonation. Has quite a nice depth of flavour for the style. Solid. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Oat Lager - Admiral & Challenger on 04 Feb 2021 at 17:14 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear yellow - gold with a thick fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, grass, slightly herbal, leafy, lemon verbena, hay, white bread, cracker and a touch of spice. The taste is crisp, dry, doughy white bread, custard creams, leafy, grass, slight herbal, dull resin, touch of spice, cracker and hay with a dry, peppery finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Well rounded, nice body and fulsome. A quality lagerbier by all accounts.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft Depot. Pours totally clear yellow with a small, foamy white head. Lightly sweet, a little metallic, some lightly bitter straw, biscuits, grass. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more pale biscuits, subtly bitter straw, grain husk, bit more grass. Quite basic overall.
