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.

Fra fat på legendariske Hole In the Wall (her har lite og ingenting blitt forandret siden jeg frekventerte denne midt på 80-tallet, til og med røyklukta sitter igjen!), med Egil: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Kraftig furunål, hvit pepper, noen grønne druer og brennenesle, men mest pepper. Ubalansert. Maltsmaken er svært tilbaketrukket, nærmest blyg.

440ml can from Lidl. Golden colour, with a slight, white, head and a touch of carbonation.Aroma of citrus hops and grapefruit, with a peppery edge. Flavour had a lot more citrus fruits, with some light maltiness and a hoppy, dryish, finish. Enjoyable and great to drink on a sweltering evening.

Can from Lidl Supermarket, Todmorden. Pale golden with a creamy-frothy head. Hoppy brew with a light bitterness, although lacking in flavour. Its bitterness carries through to its aftertaste, although it is a little more subdued here.

Bottle stolen from the Eurostar lounge at St Pancras and consumed on the 9.01am train to Brussels, 30th May 2022. Pours a light straw. Aroma is card, straw. Taste is standard, lager, a light grain, light floral, pretty dull.

Never had a dunkel before but I'm quite partial to a porter or stout and this is very similar. It's full of chocolate and coffee maltyness. It's closer to a stout than porter I think. It has a silky mouth feel.

Underwhelming, seems under carbonated with virtually no head. Tastes ok with fair bitterness, but not much hop flavour.
