Tasting Notes
Lagershed Original, from Shawn & Ed Brewing Co., delivers a crisp, clean, and balanced flavour with subtle hop nuances. Its pale golden hue is topped with a moderate head, releasing aromas of cracker, malt, dried grass, citrus, and fresh hops. The flavour features maltiness with bready and grainy notes from Weyermann Pilsner malt, complemented by grassy, weedy, and citrusy hints from Bavarian hops. The finish is pleasantly bitter, harmonizing the malt and hop flavours, with a faint metallic aftertaste that is barely noticeable. Overall, it’s a straightforward, well-crafted pale lager—refreshing, easy to drink, and perfectly balanced.
