Description
Our quest for truly great Scottish beer started in 2006 when our brewpub was opened. Ever since then, we have been brewing the finest artisan lagers and wheat beers in the UK. We brew all of our beers in strict accordance with the Reinheitsgebot, the German Purity Law of 1516, which we believe is simply the best way to make great beer.

WEST, under the leadership of Bavarian-born Petra Wetzel, is the only UK brewery to officially adhere to the Reinheitsgebot, merging centuries of traditional practice with state-of-the-art equipment. Our German roots are firmly planted in Glasgow and our company ethos can best be summed up as ‘Glaswegian Heart. German Head’.

330ml bottle from Aldi. Clear, light golden with an initially fluffy white head. Sweet, grassy aroma, flavour is a bit lacking tbh. Crisp and a little sweet, but not very memorable

On keg at Lebowskis. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - sweetcorn. Cooked greens. Light hop spice. Taste - pale malt, citrus and more hop spice. Palate - light bodied, long lean and extremely bitter. Overall - a good example of the style. It's got a level of bitterness that would work well on a hot day.

On keg at Lebowskis. Appearance - hazy golden. Nice head. Looks more like a kristallweizen. Nose - light banana and malt. Creamy. Taste - as with the nose. Light banana. Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy. Clean finish. Overall - looks and drinks more like a kristallweizen. But decent.

Bottle from Aldi. It pours clear rich gold with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, doughy white bread, toasty grain, sponge cake and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, grassy bitterness, toasty grain, metallic twang and doughy white bread. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Quenching, with a good deal of bitterness. Nice pils.

On tap at West Brewery Tap, Sunday 11th February 2018 in the company of Nick and Anna. Pours reddy amber with a touch of haze but otherwise reasonably clear. Soft in the mouth, lots of toffee, a little banana toffee, it's quite nice. A6 A3 T6 P4 Ov13 3.2

On tap at West Brewery Tap, Sunday 11th February 2018 in the company of Nick and Anna. Pours gold a little cereal, definitely a touch of corn. Its a little fruity, fine but not really doing it for me. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

On tap at West Brewery Tap, Sunday 11th February 2018 in the company of Nick and Anna. Pours light straw coloured with a filmy white head. A little bit of nothingness on the nose. It's a bit too simplistic, however it tastes like a Pils so it's correct I guess. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
