Around The World In 80 Beers Episode 205: Cricketers Arms Keeper's Lager

Pours a clear amber colour with a small head. A lot of carbonation is visible in the glass.

First Sip: Very mild malt with a taste of citrus. Mild hops which lingers for quite some time. Strong carbonation tingle on the tongue and yet not too fizzy. Mouth-feel is a little thin.

Lagers really aren't my favourite type of beer, and yet this is a very good session lager. It's a great one to knock back a six pack around a BBQ while you watch the Aussie cricket team enjoy thrashing playing against New Zealand. There's not a real lot of flavours going in in the beer, but it's a lager so you don't expect that. On the other hand, it's a very good lager. This one is a ... keeper.
