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.

Can from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with initially a nice fluffy head. Then it falls away quickly. Nose - mainly malt. Looking for grass or spice notes from the hops but not there. Taste - more malt, clutching to a little bit of bitterness at the very end (almost an afternote). Palate - light bodied, just needs more bitterness on the finish. Overall - lacks zing, which let's face it, is what a Pils is supposed to do best.
