Description
Kestrel lager was a hugely popular and successful brand in the 1980s and 1990s when it was supported with much-enjoyed advertising campaigns featuring the comedians and actors Hugh Laurie and Russ Abbot. Having maintained a loyal following in subsequent years, in 2012 its quality and potential were recognised by Nigel McNally, who decided to take the bold step of purchasing the Kestrel lager beer brand and setting up the Kestrel Brewing Company in order to nurture and develop it.
Under his stewardship the Kestrel brand has now returned to its Scottish roots and is being brewed at a state-of-the-art facility in Glasgow, adjacent to Glasgow Cathedral. Brewing has taken place at the site since 1556, making it the oldest continuous commercial concern in Glasgow.

Can, 7.5%. Nutty fart aroma. Extremely pale colour, almost like water. The flavour is dry, tastes a lot like cheap white wine, only fizzy. No aftertaste to speak of, only sour white wine.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Odd apple aroma - somewhat rotten. Medium body, citric acid galore with hardly any apple notes. An awful chemical mess really. 200210

Can (BB 04/2010). Golden color, small white head. Pear fruity aroma, quite alcoholic. Strong alcoholic and sweet flavor. Pear-apple with alco kick - quite close what you suppose to get when you buy this.
