An unfiltered, unpasteurised lager with a difference. We use San Francisco Lager yeast fermented at ale temperatures to release delicate fruity esters, whilst Vienna malt is used to give the beer a hint of sweetness.

A real revelation. Nice roasted grain body with fresh citrus and earthy hops, a dash of pepper and some dark berries. Lovely balance, refreshing and innovative.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of bread, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Okay white foam and slightly cloudy yellow. Soft peach aroma. Flavour is more oily peach with hoppy oil hints. Medium finish. Not bad, well made at least.
