Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Today we are getting some fizz on our pallet with Ilkley Brewerys, Slake.

Picture by JSH
  1. Name : Slake
  2. Brewery: Ilkley Brewery
  3. Aroma : Hint of Hop, with cornflakes and the smallest hint of lime
  4. Appearance : Clear Gold, no head
  5. Body : Thin but loaded with fizz (heavily carbonated)
  6. Taste : clean, sweet, & hoppy with a malty cornflake like undertone.

Slake, certainly isnt a Slacker when it comes to flavour. Although I would sau that this one felt more like a Pilsner than a straight Lager due to its unusual initial hoppy-ness. It was refershing, and I found the malty quality to it very enjoyable, but as per usualy for me there was still a too much fizz for my taste.

This is a great alternative Lager for those who are looking to try something a little different. You can buy Ilkleys beers in Can, Bottle or Cask form on their online store.

our overall rating: 2.7/ 5.0
