The Coldest of the Cold!

Tasting Notes: 

Foster's 3.4 Heineken

Foster's is the ultimate ice-cold refreshment. Its balance of subtle fruitiness and vanilla is ideal for the sweeter-toothed lager lover. The perfect session beer to enjoy with mates.

Tasting Notes: A light-coloured lager style, it presents full malt character with a balanced clean hop bitterness. Combined with a slightly hoppy, but yeasty/malty nose, Foster's lager is a full bodied beer with excellent drinkability.

Guinness Draught 4.2 Guinness

One of the world's best-loved beers, with sweet smelling aromas of coffee and malt, from the first velvety sip to the last, lingering drop, every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between is pure beauty… pure Guinness.

Tasting Notes: Smoothly balanced with bitter, sweet, roasted notes

John Smiths Bitter 3.8 John Smith's Brewery

Bronze and amber colouring with a malt and fruity smell.

Tasting Notes: Malt, hop bitterness, a full body with lasting aftertaste. John Smith’s bitter, which is still going strong, is a malty, bitter sweet ale with a slight fruitiness and a bitter aftertaste – we probably took the words right out of your mouth.

Madrí Excepcional 4.6 Molson Coors

Full of flavour and aroma with a light golden colour. Crisp, clean and refreshing, Madri Excepcional has a smooth, well-rounded taste profile with a short, bitter finish.

Tasting Notes: 

Stella Artois 4.8 Stella Artois

Stella Artois is one of the world’s best-selling beers and is enjoyed in more than 80 countries. Its full, characteristic flavour and high quality is assured through a superior brewing process and by using the finest ingredients available.

Tasting Notes: It is brewed to perfection using the original Stella Artois yeast and only the best ingredients including the celebrated Saaz hops. It's the optimum premium lager, with its full flavour and clean, crisp taste.

Strongbow 4.5 Heineken

Strongbow gets its distinctive flavour and cut-through refreshment through the unique blends of bittersweet British cider apples from our Herefordshire orchards.

Tasting Notes: The cider is made from a blend of bittersweet cider and culinary apples making it a well-rounded, balanced cider with a good mix of fresh apples and cidery flavour

Strongbow Dark Fruit 4.0 Heineken

Crisp Strongbow cut with a blend of dark fruit

Tasting Notes: Harnessing the crisp, masculine refreshment of Strongbow Original, Strongbow Dark Fruit offers an easy-drinking combination of Strongbow cider, cut with black currant and blackberry juices.
