Lagerboy is our proof to you that a Lager brewed with care and attention can be just as flavourful and moorish as the best British of Real Ales. We craft this beer with British and German malt, an obscene amount of Czech hops and then ferment it low and slow with one of the most famous lager yeast strains.
If you didn’t know, it is ONLY the type of yeast that determines if a beer is a Lager or not.
TASTING NOTE
Deep golden colour, creamy white head and nice noble hop aroma. Nice malt backbone with some caramel sweetness, finishing dry with a firm hop flavour and bitterness.

11th February 2014Brewdog Shoreditch. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate starts smooth, turning mildly crisp from minerally carbonation. Smooth malt, light cream. Subtle floralness. Mild skunk and pine hops. Little fruit syrup. Light finish. Unusual lager, more of a pale ale, decent enough.

On tap at the Red Squirrel. Appearance -golden with a nice head. Nose - pale malt maybe citrus but it’s hidden. Taste - sweet cornflakes. Frosties I guess. Palate - a cloying finish. Lagers are generally frowned upon. However the obe thing they reliably dobis cleanse the palate. This doesn’t achieve this. Overall - not great for one of England’s most renowned craft brewers

On tap at the brewery. Cloudy amber with a thick white head; grainy aroma with a trace of orange; soft, smooth and creamy in the mouth, with some orange citrus, and a full grainy body; the finish is dry and very moreish with a marmalade aftertaste. This would scare the living daylights out of most lagerboys - good stuff though!

Taste comprises pale malts, citrus zest, fresh and clean tasting, bready notes, touch of honey. Medium bodied with a good level of spritz befitting the style, crisp dry refreshing finish. A well made lager.

Tap at the brewery. It pours hazy golden with medium white head. The nose is dough, hay, floral and grass. The taste is crisp, dough, bitter grass, spice, earth and cooked apple, with a dry, lightly bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Very refreshing. I am not a lager boy, but this is top stuff.

On tap at BrewDog Camden. Hazy gold lasting white head. Very hoppy lager. Wow hops jump straight out at you. To have really good balance maybe a little less hop otherwise excellent.

Keg at the brewery on several occasions, drink as Fosters Slayer, I guess they thought better of a commercial launch with that name, I am not a lager drinker, this is proper beer though, still low on my favoured styles
