#10 Harrington's East Indies Lager - 5% ABV

Pours a medium straw with a thin head. There is a negligible amount of effervescence in the glass.

The nose is slightly walnutty and oaty - interesting in a lager. There's not a lot of life on the tongue which is a refreshing change to some of the over-carbonated lagers I've had recently.

The lack of fizz allows a pleasantly pale maltiness with a touch of citrus, ginger and lingering light hop bitterness to come through.

A nicely layered, well balanced, flavourful lager that seems to break the stereotype.

The ginger pops its head up again on the burp too.
