Using the finest ingredients: barley malt, yeast, hops, and water results in a lager ideal anywhere from the back patio to the cottage retreat. Our Charleston Lager is hand crafted with care to achieve an easy drinking, well-balanced beer that is richly pleasing.

355 ml can from my boss you stopped at the brewery over the weekend. i can see that im the first one to review this brew in almost 2 years. all of you that have had this in the past i can tell you its nothing like any of your reveiws safe one. pours yellow with a nice everlasting white head. aromas are pure lager malt. flavours are similarily malty. tons of flavour for a lager and no off flavours to speak of. not enough hops but hey there very rarely is. a very well made lager that im glad to say i enjoyed.

A rather uninspired lager that poured pale yellow with absolutely no head. No real distinc scents or flavours. I suppose if I were to drink to get drunk for some reason I might choose this to support local talent but I wouldn’t bank on it.

Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow body with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and has some sour fruits along with banana notes like in a hefeweizen. Strange, rough fruitiness that is generally quite sour. I wouldn’t want to drink a lot of this.

Yellow nearly headless body. Unappealing floral, not quite funky, cidery aroma. Wheaty grass like undertones. Cidery unpleasant flavour. Average to thin palate. Wow, I assumed that the earlier ratings were a bit harsh, but this was “fresh” from the brewery and still not up to par.

This is an all malt, well lagered, smooth lager for swigging on hot humid days...something with malty flavor approximating the Dortmunder style according to the brewer. Pours a clear deep gold with a decent frothy cap....light lacing.....aroma is sweet bready malts and some light fruits like a cider. Substantial malt backbone, sticky mouthfeel...big dose Breiss bonlander Munich malt up front with just the right hopping to keep it from being cloying... light tart lemony notes from the hops and a mild sourness from the lager yeast....finish is crisp and biscuity with a pleasant lemony snap at the end. I don’t mind this beer at all.....then again I love malty beers and the sweetness of the big malts is kept from getting cloying by judicious use of nobel hops and lager yeast sulfides. A great malty Dortmunder styled lager which I will keep in my beer fridge for warm summer afternoon sessions.
