Genius Craft Lager (Morrisons) By @SpectreUK

I have roasted chicken tonight. You may think that's sound a bit dull. In fact a week or so ago I'd have agreed with you. Then we found roast in the bag chicken. One whole chicken roasted in a bag. I have no idea how long this has been a thing, but it's revolutionised chicken for me.

The first roast in the bag chicken I had was probably the best whole chicken I've ever eaten. Okay, so I gave Cinabar a leg or two, but it was pretty whole after that, and was easily the juiciest tastiest most succulent chicken I've ever torn off the bone like a Viking.

What's this got to do with Genius Craft Lager, you are possibly thinking? Well, asides the fact that I'm going to use a can of it to wash my roast in the bag chicken down tonight, it also sounds like a great idea.

This 3% in volume lager by Genius Brewing is only 89 calories. I count calories for my diet, so I can now pack in more chicken, thickly buttered baked bread, salad and picky bits into my main meal.

On opening the can there was no fizz to speak of. That gave me some cause for concern, as usually a lager has a bit of fizz. This light golden Genius Craft Lager did pour with a decent head though. There was Pilsner malt in the aroma, with crisp herbal hops following. On taste the smell was pretty much the same, though in reverse, with crisp herbal hops to begin with, followed by sweet Pilsner into the aftertaste. Very nice.
