Lacons - Quell 5.4% abv
Love the description... a "Slightly misted golden IPA. Aptly named to ‘quell’ the thirst of avid beer drinkers that are seeking something unique, interesting and different to the norm. Its name pays homage to a period in our history when Lacons was nearly silenced forever at the hands of a corporate takeover."[su_row][su_column size="1/2"]
[/su_column] [su_column size="1/2"]Appearance: Slightly clouded light amber/ golden, pours a frothy head that reduces slowly but stays with you and leaves a fair bit of lacing. Pretty carbonated.Aroma: Golden biscuit/ brown sugar with nice citrusy underlay and a pleasant touch of vanilla.Flavour: The vanilla/ biscuity sweetness is followed through with a nice little hint of sweet watermelon, counterbalanced by a citrusy bitterness in the finish.[/su_column][/su_row]VERY refreshing with lots of character!As you can probably see from the Greater Anglia Trains logo on the can, this brew is also available on their Norwich – London trains, so we'll definitely be planning a couple of trips on this line!It's also available on keg in selected pubs too.For more info, check out their Website, Facebook and Twitter.
