Steam Brew Beer (Lidl) By @SpectreUK

Steam Brew Beer (Lidl)

I have a home cooked fish and chips supper tonight, so this Steam Brew should go rather well with that. At 4.9% in volume and in a slightly larger 500ml can, this is quite a strong Session IPA. It states "Let's oil the gears of life," on the side of the can. Any worker on a steam engine would be properly oiled after having one of these beers before going back to work after a liquid lunch.

On opening the can there was a strong smell of crisp herbal hops, with sweet pale malts at the back of the aroma. This hazy golden India Pale Ale poured with a good frothy head. In its taste, Steam Brew had the reverse of its smell. It had sweet pale malts to begin with followed by bitter herbal and slightly floral hops, then back to the malts into the aftertaste. Very flavoursome indeed, this IPA washed my fish and chips down a treat. Cheers.
