Yardsman Craft Lager is a delicate, well balanced beer with a mild floral hop character. It is unique, in that it is filtered through Irish linen, and matured for 6 weeks to allow the beer to mature and develop its smooth and full bodied character. It’s delicate and easy drinking style, which is a perfect combination for food, belies its 4.5% ABV.

Bottle at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours golden with small white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, toasted grain, cereal and bready action. The taste is dry, grainy, cereal, paper, earthy, leather, stewed black tea and apple with a drying finish. Light - medium body and average carbonation. Dull and grainy stuff. A rather basic lager.

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Bright clear paleish gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Papery malts, Little sweet floralness. Trace of citrus. Light dry finish. Scrapes a pass.

On tap at The Bar With No Name, pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Nose brings out corn and cereal notes. Flavour is clean, with notes of corn and crisp grassiness. Clean and refreshing. Solid enough but nothing interesting.
