The first lager brewed on our site in Capel, this German Helles-inspired beer is light, crisp and balanced by a subtle maltiness for a dry mouthfeel. Fermented for 2 weeks and “lagered” for a further 60 days, it cuts no corners and is left completely natural, adhering to German purity law. Unfined and vegan friendly.

Can from Garsons Farm Shop, West End. Aroma is certainly spot on - bready with some citrus and burnt caramel. More an opaque amber than particularly hazy. Foamy white head. Medium bitter. Herbal. Metallic. Woody. Citrus sour edge. Lacks the bready malts I was expecting from the aroma. But it is certainly crisp. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Smells like a Helles but ultimately a hoppy Pils. However a decent Lager.
