RedWillow were excited to gain access to some of a very special heritage Hana lager malt germinated from original Czech seeds and floor malted. It was first developed and grown in the Hana region of Czech Moravia, an area of Europe long fabled for its high quality malting barley. It was used to make the first ever golden blond lager in Pilsen in 1842.
Given the heritage and authenticity of the malt we made every ever effort to brew a traditional Czech lager. Using a traditional decoction mash technique we produced an incredible sweet wort which slowly fermented over 2 weeks before lagering in tank for a further 4 weeks. We used only the finest Czech Saaz hops.
The result is a pale, slender & elegant lager full of body poured with a white head. In a word - DELICIOUS.

Can. Nose is very light grain, cereal, hint of ripe lime. Taste is light lime, cereal, grassy, lots of dough, light medicinal hop bitterness. Nice.

Keg at the Head of Steam, Leeds. Golden with a thick frothy head. It's a crisp lager but quite ordinary in both aroma and taste, although it's quite stated with its ingredients.
