Description
Calvors Brewery was created in 2008 to brew proper English Lagers, without compromise! We have been crafting award-winning beers ever since, becoming known for our distinctive take on the much-celebrated lager styles of Europe. Sure, we're passionate about lager, but we also love a good ale and brew a growing selection of international styles. Calvors beers challenge the flavour and integrity of mass-produced brews and you won't find any of those nasty chemicals or preservatives. We brew by hand using only four ingredients: water, malt, hops and yeast.

Cask at Chippenham Beer Festival. Nice clear copper colour. Like walking down a shady green leafy lane with lemons hanging from the bushes. Pleasant enough bitter.

Cask at the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Dark gold with a modicum of filmy white head. Hmmmm... doesn’t smell too hoppy for the name, mostly breach malt with hints of grass. Sweet taste, not terribly engaging, with a bitter/sour note at the end. Surprisingly dry finish. Can’t get hugely excited about it but at least it’s well made.

Burnley Beer Festival 2015. Clear copper-gold. Has an easy drinking character with grainy-malts abundant. There’s a mild sweetness in its nose.

Keg tap at the St Radegund, Cambridge. Light yellow with a little white head. Pee, metal and grass aroma... Not as bad as I’ve made it sound but not great. Taste is actually sweet and refreshing, an improvement on the smell. Heavily carbonated refreshing palate. Ok, not a great beer but I’ve had worse lagers and it is certainly drinkable. And it seems to get better as it goes on, which is always a good sign.
