First taste of Juborg

Right. First taste of my new brew. I suppose I could call these my "tasting notes" but that seems a bit strong. "Observations" maybe.

It wasn't stored cold though but I don't know if this will make a difference. Opened up and slight "Psst!" and poured pretty damn clear.

I just had a Grolsch so it's interesting to compare. My Juborg has that "fuller" flavour that's could be described as "fruity" I suppose (if I had half a clue about these things which I don't). This is an attribute that's not normally associated with lagers but since I prefer fruity and flowery beers like Skinners Ales then I'm very happy with the outcome.

Poured the second half of the bottle into a frosted glass which gave it a nice little white head which didn't last too long but it is a lager after all.


Tasted cold it loses a bit of its fruity taste but keeps its bitter aftertaste. That's bitter as in hops and not as in a bad way. Not too disimilar to the Grolsch I've just had actually. Oooh. Get me.


All-in-all I'm pretty damn happy with my second lager homebrew. Job's on.
