Wild WEST

Tap to rate

Wild WEST began as a brewing mishap years ago and has stayed in the range ever since. It is the unfiltered twin of St Mungo, sold by the brewery as an unfiltered lager in the Kellerbier tradition. The retained yeast gives a hazy golden body and a fuller, rounder mouthfeel. Grassy and herbal hop notes come through more strongly than in the filtered version, joined by a citrus tang, bready malt and a light yeasty edge before a firmer bitter finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wild WEST

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden pour with fine suspension throughout, characteristic of an unfiltered lager. The head is modest but persistent, settling into a thin collar that clings gently to the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, neither aggressive nor flat.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, grassy and herbaceous notes that feel fresh and inviting without assertiveness. A subtle malt foundation underpins the profile, while gentle citrus undertones add complexity without dominating. The overall impression is clean and understated, speaking to careful fermentation and handling.

grassy, herbalbright citrusclean lager character

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and lively, with a subtle bread-malt sweetness that provides ballast. Mid-palate develops a citrus tang that sharpens progressively, while the rich, full mouthfeel gives the beer unexpected substance for its moderate strength. The bitterness is restrained and measured, acting as an accent rather than a statement.

◑ Finish

Clean and dry, with the citrus character lingering through to the aftertaste. The finish is inviting rather than clinging, leaving the palate ready for another sip.
