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’.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; grassy aroma; biscuity grain taste; then a sustained bitterness with apricot kernels and grass. A pleasant pale ale, definitely not a Kolsch!

Tight foamy white head left a creamy cover on a slowly carbonating clear golden coloured body. Sweet malt & ashtray aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a cloying back. Sweet malt, cereal, bread, biscuit & tangy hoppy tastes. Solid - I like it.

Hazy golden beer, white head. Flavour doesn't have a lot going on really. Bit of banana, some hop, a little spice. It's fine but nothing remarkable.

330ml can, as WEST 4% Session Lager, part of a boxed four pack: BB 17th May 2021. Drank at home on 12th Dec 2020. Bright golden body, clear and clean, smooth white head on top. Mild hop nose, soft malty taste. It's fine but not going to test your senses too greatly, refreshing enough and easy to drink.
