TASTING NOTES FROM THE BREWER

Banana is the aroma that immediately catches your nose, although it isn’t a true banana smell like eating a piece of fruit or ordering a banana blast at the juice bar, more like unwrapping a banana paddle pop from the service station.  Combine that with mild bubble-gum and subtle leather-like clove, all layered over a hazy golden full bodied beer and you have an incredibly refreshing and interesting warm weather quaffer.

To brew a great version of a classic beer style

Tasting notes from the brewer:

Golden hued with a white head; this is what people expect beer to look like. Traditional hops and malt give herbal, floral and bready flavours with a firm bitterness. A great version of a classic beer style, it will be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys good beer.

TASTING NOTES FROM THE BREWER

To understand this beer you first have to set the scene of its natural habitat. Friends and strangers clad in Dirndl and Lederhosen as far as the eye can see, the sounds of merriment mixed with accordion as oompah music blasts an upbeat tune throughout the room and the smell of bratwurst, sauerkraut and pork knuckle wafting all around. What is the one thing missing from this picture? A large glass of smooth, clean, pale German lager of course!

Our Festbier is here to fill that role, deftly balancing strength and drinkability, with a palate impression and finish that encourages you to lift your glass again and again. Prost!

STYLE
German IPA

ABV / IBU
6.0% / 50

MALTS
Pilsner and Munich

HOPS
Huell Melon & Hallertau Blanc

INSPIRATION
Taking American inspiration and German ingredients to ask the question “if the modern craft IPA originated in Germany, what would it taste like?”

TASTING NOTES FROM THE BREWER
Pouring pale golden with just a light haze, this IPA was designed with a lean lager like malt bill to best showcase the layers of modern German hops that have been added. On the nose notes of citrus blossom, apricot, green tea and grapefruit, which flows into earthier citrus characters combining  on the palette with each sip.  A unique, interesting and more restrained version of an IPA than its more over the top American cousins

STYLE
Export Stout

ABV / IBV
6.2% / 32

MALTS

HOPS

INSPIRATION
Real stout for fans of real stout.

TASTING NOTES FROM THE BREWER
Inky black, flavours and aromas of rich roast coffee, chocolate and nuts with a deliciously lush and silky mouth-feel. A stout that stout lovers will very much enjoy – mission accomplished.

STYLE
Beechwood smoked lager

ABV / IBU
4.5% / 20

MALTS
Beechwood, Pilsner, Vienna and Munich

HOPS
Magnum & Perle

INSPIRATION
Oktoberfest is the perfect excuse for our brewers to make yet another smoke beer ( their favourite style)

TASTING NOTES FROM THE BREWER
Beechwood smoke is what this beer is all about, but don’t let that fool you though because there is more to this beer than might first be assumed. Bacon like smoked aromas waft from the glass as this light amber lager is first poured, but as you slowly sip your way through this Bamberg inspired delight these flavours and aromas begin to soften and mingle with  delicate malt flavours of breadcrust and cracker. All of this tied up in a very lean and drinkable lager. Try this beer now before the brewers drink it all by themselves
