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.

Taster. Darker brown, smaller and not too lasting beige head. Biscuity nose with some dry fruity notes, sweet and syrupy feeling. Moderate sweetness, milder bitterness. Lighter body. Not bad, but not the ebest of them.

30/10/2021. Can shared with ITFCfan and ITFCDan. From Beers of Europe. Pours clear bright amber bronze with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, brown sugar, citrus, dried fruit. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with a light sour edge. Medium body, slightly creamy, average carbonation. Sour fruit finish. Disappointing.

Clear gold with a bubbly white head and a relatively complex floral, citrus and pine aroma. Moderately carbonated, it's dry and bitter in the taste, with an underlying fruit sweetness

330ml can. Pours dark gold with a large frothy head. Aroma is eggy caramel and minerals. Taste has grainy caramel to start and a burnt minerally finish. A bit flabby.
