Commercial Description:
Our Keltic Lager is handcrafted from the finest malt barley and is generously hopped. We use triple-filtered water for spring-fresh goodness and add minerals to ensure the flavour is reminiscent of traditional English lagers. A standard blond lager with 5% alcohol, this is our most popular beer, loved by those who prefer a Keith’s or Blue.

Clear, pale straw w/ a quickly dissipating white head. Sweet aroma of honey & canned corn w/ notes of nail polish remover. Light, watery feel. Sweet, bland flavour.

She’s been sitting in my fridge for just over 2 months, so it is just cold enough to drink. Pale gold, huge white quick dissipating head. Aroma is a bit sappy with a little pine hop, corn syrup remains. Fairly clean but very boring as far as anything deriving of flavour or palate. I only sample as very cold so I’m sure when it warmed up this beer is as bad as I imagined. Has a fried chicken flair to it. Pretty lousy. Probably the ugliest marketing i’ve seen on a can. Looks really cheap, tastes only kinda cheap. Pale lagers.....why?

Corn and rice nose, straw, pours a tiny white head. Tastes of corn with adjuncts. Thin. Whew! Thank You OKBeer and jerc.

Sample at DougShoemaker’s 2005 December gathering - cans courtesy of jerc and OKBeer (via mr_kimchee). Pale yellow with a pillowy white head. Not much aroma, but there is a definate hint of the high-gravity corn alcohol that this stuff was probably watered down from. Flavour is similar - bland, with a surprisingly harsh finish. Another shitty macro wannabe, whoop-dee-doo.

A slight improvement over most macros. LIght yellow colour with some foamy head. Metallic corn taste and smell. A whiff of citrus. Cannot finish ’er. Very sweet and watery. A whimsical gift from Bob and Jeremy C.
