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.

Hazy pale gold beer. Crisp palate but not as crisp as you would expect a lager. Very moderate carbonation. Light malt and not much else. Dull as dishwater.

330ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring as Calvors Premium Lager at an ABV of 5.0%. Pale straw with a ring of white head and light carbonation; the aroma is of Saaz hops, leafy and slightly spicy; crisp and dry with a fruity apple flavour; and a clean finish. Like the 3.8 this is so much better than the average macro lager.

330ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Pale straw with a thin white head and heavy carbonation; the aroma is sweet, floral and grainy; sweet grainy flavour with some light citrus notes; then slightly drier with a some light grassy hops. Rather delicate and refreshing, and miles away from a mass market lager.
