Keg at the Globe Inn, Hythe, Kent. Straw colour with a thin ring of white head, but highly carbonated with big bubbles; a fresh aroma of grassy hops; crisp with sweetish malt flavours balanced by a sharp bitterness, quite prickly mouth feel. In the end the sweetness wins over the bitterness leaving an unsatisfactory finish. It’s hard to place the style, it’s similar to Stella in some ways, and 1664 in others. Not a bad lager, but I would not go out of my way to find it.

33cl bottle. Gold, with thin lasting white head. Actually, some Sheps yeast on the aroma, some citrus fruit of the lemon variety. Malt is plain in the mouth, which is a bit dull, but with nice citrus on the end. Even the yeast makes another appearance on the finish. Hey, nice lager.
