Lager

Tap to rate

Sweet undertones meet a light bitterness in this lager, which finishes crisp and balanced. The ingredient list is short: water, malted barley, hops and yeast, with no wheat. It is brewed in the flint barn at Church Farm in the South Downs National Park, with water drawn from the chalk aquifer below the farm, and it comes in at 4.0 %.

Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity, revealing the beer's light character. A fine white head forms with moderate retention and delicate lacing that clings softly to the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, giving the beer an inviting and lively presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle Edelhopfen character—gentle herbal and floral notes—layered beneath a clean, slightly sweet Malz foundation. No yeast funk or sulfur; the chalk-drawn water contributes a mineral softness to the overall impression. Restrained and elegant rather than assertive, allowing the beer's simplicity to speak.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and balanced: a light, soft sweetness from the Malz meets restrained bitterness (22 IBU) without harshness. The mid-palate stays clean and dry, with a gentle malty backbone supporting a subtle hop bite. Finish is refreshingly dry, with the bitterness lingering just long enough to cleanse the palate without dominating.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, crisp and bone-dry, with a light hoppy edge that fades smoothly. No residual sweetness or cloying aftertaste; the chalk aquifer water leaves a mineral cleanliness that invites the next sip.
