Tried my first one, poured into a glass from the 473 ML swingtop bottle.
Thick on the palate for a lager, but very tasty, classy. Grainy and hoppy.
Nice beer, but i wouldn't buy it again. Lots of beer around of the same quality, that are cheaper.
Grolsch.
Re: Grolsch.
i don't mind Grolsch..
i'd like to replicate that 'grainy' element in my beers... some people don't seem to be a fan of it, preferring the more malty caramel-ey notes that the grain can give, but I like the raw grainy character of Grolsch, Heineken, etc. Just trying to work out what grains I can use with only a steep to do so - any ideas people? Was thinking lots of carapils, but might need to go one step darker... dunno.
