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’.

Bottle 33 cl. Clear golden, lacing white head. Biscuity aroma. Medium body, soft and mellow malts, some cardboard. Hardly any bitterness. Quite overrated. 230719

330ml bottle; BB St George's Day 2020 (23rd April). Drank on board a cruise ship off the Silly Isles. Red hue to the deep copper body, wispy head. Caramel esters dominate the nose, the taste is also on the sweet caramel side before the hops kick in with some bitterness and dark berry flavours.

[33cl bottle from Tesco, Warfield.] Belgian style bottle giving an amber pour with a thin cream head; malty aroma with a trace of orange; malty taste to start, then developing a strong herbal bitterness that is not entirely pleasant; leading to a dry resinous bitter finish. Not at all what I was expecting.

330ml bottle. Pale gold with a foamy white head. Grassy aroma, taste is light, crisp, clean, exactly what you'd expect of a pils. Job done

it is.... a Pils. I don't really know what else to say. You want a Pils? This is a Pils. Job done. It's not a great one to my taste but then these aren't really my cup of tea so what do I know. It's crisp and clean and would probably hit the mark on a nice hot day. It's fine.

What would have been a bland but serviceable blonde is ruined by an absolute pig of an aftertaste. It's a mildly zesty, hoppy golden thing with a very bitter almost metallic-y finish. Far from West's finest work.
