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’.

Can from Good Spirits, Glasgow. It pours ever so slightly hazy with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, juicy, zingy, tangy, candied lemon, lemonade,, lemon sherbet, bread and biscuit. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy upfront, sweet - sour, quite juicy, lemon sherbet, lemonade, floury bread, biscuit and some damp grass with a drying finish. Light+ body and moderate carbonation. Well judged. Quenching and moreish.

Bottle from Tesco, Irlam. Golden coloured as you might expect with a head. Has a mild fruitiness as hops and a slight over carbonation are the subduing factor here.
