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.

Bright clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Smooth light dry pale malt, slightly sweet. So this beer is called Hoperator and yet there is next to no hops here, a bare whisper at best. Light finish. Get real!

Bottle at The Cambridge Chop House, Cambridge (Lozs works Christmas Do) Monday 16th December 2013 Sweet lager its ok for the style if a little bit corny and even a bit buttery at edges, actually too sweet and not that refreshing I am drinking more sparkling water than I am this!

Bottle at The Cambridge Chop House, Cambridge (Lozs works Christmas Do) Monday 16th December 2013 Not impressed, the coldness dulls the flavours somewhat which is probably a blessing. Amber in colour, good clarity, bit fruity, a light sour edge just a bit boring and poor. A5 A4 T6 P4 Ov10 2.8

Clear deep amber beer, good white head, short lived. Light semi crisp palate. Light sweet malt, just a tad lagerish. Subtle dark malts and dark toffee. Whispers of yeast and red berry fruits. Finishes neutral with some minerals. Not bad! Fairly drinkable!

Bright amber beer, tidy white head. Slightly nutty nose. Crisp palate, slightly dry. Very nutty malt - almost walnuts and hazlenuts! Lagerish malt finish. Different! Refreshing and quite tasty.

As โ€™Premium Suffolk Lagerโ€™. Pale gold beer, light suddy head. Light malty nose. Light crisp palate. Light malt - almost creamy. A little tiny bit of hop bitterness. Finishes crisp and zingy but with a metallic taste that skews what is an otherwise decent lager.
