Cannonball is a registered trademark of an adjacent beverage product, so we couldn’t use that. Pencil Dive was there for the taking, but is a little too blah for us. But.... “Ostro” is the south wind of the Mediterranean. Now that is smooth warm vibes coming straight outta Africa to hit you in the flavour zone. Flavour Zone is actually something we should trademark. In fact, we should have called the beer Flavour Zone. Or Flavourzone. No, that’s too chemical sounding. We’ll stick with Ostro.
We have literally been talking about brewing a lager with our friends at @fourwindsbrewco for the past 5 years, and we are very happy we finally made it happen. This Pilsner is brewed with German Durst Malt as the base and hopped with Magnum and Saaz. The aroma is traditionally floral with a layer of lemon and the malt character comes through in the flavour with a beautiful sweet bread crust. Clean and crisp with balanced bitterness.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Aroma of bready pale malt, lemon zest and floral hops. Sweet flavour of crackery pale malt, lemon, herbal and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and easy to put back.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is very dry, with straw, biscuity malt, not much hop content. Flavour is clean and smooth, with straw, biscuity malt, and some bittering hops. Nicely constructed, with a smooth, dry, lightly bitter finish. Competent.

On tap at Barley Merchant. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Cracker malts and some dry grass on the nose. Flavour is very clean with nice crisp malts and some dry grass. More hops would be nice, but this is nicely done.
