Union Street Draught
Valhalla Brewing

Purchased fresh from the brewery in March 2024 and drunk a week or so later.

L: The beer is clear and light golden yellow, with a thin covering of white foam atop it. Large bubbles race up the glass.

S: Clean, light malts and floral hops. No cloying sweetness was detected, which is always a good sign for a lager!

T: Flavourwise, this is excellent. There's a clean, bready base, a liberal dose of earthy hops driving the bitterness towards medium and sitting nicely atop the malt base, and a dry finish. The bitterness lingers but is mild enough to encourage further sips.

M: The mouthfeel is smooth, with enough carbonic prickle to remind you you're drinking a beer.

O: This is an excellent lager - clean, bracing, very moreish, and one of the best local craft examples I've encountered.

Cheers!
