Description
We are an independent craft brewer specialised in brewing lager. Born in London in 1995, we have since moved to Abbots Bromley in rural Staffordshire. Relocating has allowed us to use a better quality of water direct from our very own private source. The move also provided us with the space we need to recycle all our waste water on site via a natural reed bed system. All the beers we brew are naturally carbonated, unpasteurised and vegan friendly. Our brewing process blends the use of modern technology and sophisticated equipment with the care and dedication of our experienced team of "hands on" brewers to ensure all our beers are well balanced and consistent in quality.

3rd Beer of my random tasting evening on 12 Aug 2011. The brown 330ml bottle had 12 days life left when poured into a Veltins Pilsner badged stemmed tulip. Regular Pilsner/Lager look: golden, clear and bright, the pure white head produced some good lacing as the beer sank down the glass. Being made with a blend of liberty and saaz hops ensures there is a citrusy feel to the beer both in taste and in the aroma given off. Although not strong, there was a grapefruit hint throughout the tasting and it added a nice dimension to the beer. I’m never going to be a huge lager/pilsner fan, but this sits highly in my eyes and if it was a hot day I’d consider having another.

330ml bottle, thanks to Finn for sharing. Unclear, golden body topped by a decent, chalk white head. Pale malty nose alongside a touch of dusty hops. Malt-accented taste with floral-fruity notes. Refreshing malt-bitter end. Soft in the mouth. Ordinary (session in Tromsø, 09.02.2012).

330ml bottle shared by Finn. Solid, off-white head covering a golden-brown body. Spotty lacing. Nose is earthy malts added by notes of dark fruits. Taste of mid-sweet malts mixed with resinous hops leading to a smooth and dry ending. Medium bodied. Different and likable (drinking session in Tromsø, 09.02.2012).
