Inspired by the German Kölsch style beer, 08 takes its name from the measure of the beer’s colour as specified by the EBC, (European Brewery Convention). This bright straw coloured beer is created through the gentle use of German hops and Pilsner malt which imparts a subtle aroma resulting in a smooth and slightly sweet flavour, with a pleasing mild bitter finish. An excellent accompaniment for meat and cheese.

Some grain and a little paper. Pours golden. Not much to this but easy drinking and crisp finish. Bottle from a Centra in Londenderry.
