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.

Bottle from 3at3, Ely. Brownish orange, clear with a lot of visible ’supermarket bitter’ carbonation. Crystal malt aroma, with some juicy fruit and a hint of milk chocolate. Taste is sweet, gently malty, with a longer and slightly more bitter finish than I expected. Thin to medium palate. It’s not an amazing beer, but it’s certainly more than passable, and hits that thirst-quenching spot on a warmish late spring day.

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cambridge. Brown with no head. There’s some darker malts in here, but has plenty of taste with a sweetness in both aroma and taste and a sugary stickiness within its texture.

Bright clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light, semi dry and crispy. Light clean pale malts. Light lager character. Mild floralness and very mild citrus. Mild paper before a light semi dry finish. Just about passes muster.

Bottle from Waitrose, Stevenage. Straw-yellow with a very thin head. Has a skunky lager malt aroma, but not as bad in taste, however there’s nothing much to shout about here. No carbonation as it’s a lager styled ale.
