Wrexham Lager

Wrexham Lager

Tap to rate

Light biscuity malt and delicate floral hop notes on the nose, then a smooth malt character with a gentle bitterness and a dry finish: the 4% Wrexham Lager is subtly hopped and easy to drink. The brewery says it even sailed aboard the Titanic, and after years away the Roberts family brought the brand back to its home town in 2011.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty with a pleasant bready character that fills the mid-palate without heaviness. Bittering is gentle and refined—22 IBU provides structure without harsh edges. The finish turns notably dry, with the malt sweetness receding to reveal a clean, slightly herbal aftertaste that lingers with restraint.
