I had this Summer Lightning the other day, I can not remember where I found it.
I do not have too much to say, its a Bottle conditioned 5% *Golden Ale but reminds me of a Czech stlye pilsner from an English brewery called Hop back.
It is pretty nice and very drinkable, not my usual style of beer but I would have no problem drinking a few of these.
Worth a try, seems to be an award winner.
*Added the Golden Ale bit to avoid confusion, the style is Golden ale but to me tasted pretty much like a Pilsner.
Hi
ReplyDeleteIts not a plisner, its a golden ale. Actually one of the first to show case what micro can really do in the uk
The hop don't come throgh I think as well as the cask version
Oblivious
Ah yes the bottle did say Golden ale of course but it tasted and smelled like a Pilsner to me. A very nice Pilsner mind, obviously they are brewed differently but the end result was this lovely smooth beer which reminds me (and my wife who lived in Prague for a year) of a Pilsner.
ReplyDeleteI will edit the post to avoid confusion as I merely meant it reminded me of a Pilsner.
A great beer, one for quaffing certainly. A popular one for homebrewing cloning, too.
