Keg at the Ignition taproom, 28/11/2025.
Light golden blonde topped with a lasting white head, carbonation evident and some lacing follows. A good looking bier.
Nose is pale malts, straw, herb, light floral nip.
Taste comprises pale malts, breads, straw, hedgerow, toasted grains.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Tidy enough clean drinking lager ... best of an average bunch on my visit.

Keg at the Ignition taproom, 28/11/2025.
Almost clear golden orange with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is juicy citric flesh, melon, grass, hedgerow.
Taste comprises bitter orange, green hop vibes, grass, stewed fruit rinds, toasted grains.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with an earthy hop spike at the curtain call.
Okay green hop affair ... better suited to cask I'd imagine ... best of the pales on offer here but that wasn't much of a challenge!

Keg at the Ignition taproom, 28/11/2025.
Murky brown topped with a lasting beige head.
Nose is pretty basic ... brown bread, biscuit, dark malts.
Taste comprises toffee, hint of cocoa powder, dried fruit rinds.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Thin and watery ... American brown normally means some hops on offer ... struggling to detect much here!
