Williams Brothers Caesar Augustus

This Lager / IPA hybrid is a revolution in refreshment and flavour. All the crisp clean notes of the finest lager but with the discrete bitter finish of a well-balanced IPA. It’s not confused about what it wants’ to be, it’s just the best of both worlds.

Hops: Savinjski Goldings, Citra, Magnum, Cascade, Equinox

3.1 Tight foamy white head on a pale golden highly carbonated body. Minimal aroma of grain, grass & faint malt. Medium bodied, airy in the mouth with a sharp clean back. Pale malt, grass & grain tastes to the fore with a tangy, bitter hop finish.

3.6 500ml bottle in 2016. Mid golden with a thin white head. Aroma of straw, tropical fruit and candied peal. Nice fresh hoppy flavours with rising malty contrast for sweetish finish.

2.4 More IPA than lager, too hoppy

2.7 Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

3.2 500ml bottle. Gushed a clear golden colour. Lost about 1/3 of the bottle. The aroma is grainy malt, light cardboard, zesty citrus, light fake sugar. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a light, watery, citrus fruit, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

2.8 The flavor is not very strong: Hops (tropical fruits) Taste is weak, hop (fruit and needles) The aftertaste is hop bit bitter.

1.2 India lager de 4,1 % abv et 33 ebu, en format 50 cl. Houblonnage en savinjski goldings, citra, magnum, cascade, equinox. La bière passe 2 semaines en lager puis 4 semaines en dry hop. Mon exemplaire était à 13 mois après sa date. Couleur blond aux reflets ambrés, et clarté nette. Bulles fines, en fontaine centrale très vive. Mousse blanche, soyeuse, stable à 2 mm. Arômes de reine-claude, pomme sucrée, balle de blé. 1ère bouche fluide, au pauvre ensemble pils/houblon. Arrière-bouche à l'amertume plus que quelconque. 2ème quasiment vide, on dirait une blanche allongée au soda (!!!). Arrière-bouche qui est plate comme une eau .. plate. Longueur qui donne un peu de pomme et des fanes de pomme de terre. Jambes très collantes. Levure correcte. Alcool faible, il pédale dans le vide au milieu du salon. Finale banale. CONCLUSION : une india lager qui ne rend pas du tout à César ce qui lui appartient … éventuellement ce qu'il a oublié au café du commerce, en buvant un coup avec ses légionnaires .. Bière de soldat troupier. (2/2/2/2/4)

2.8 Bottle on Christmas Eve. Pours fizzy yellow with a thin soapy reducing head. The aroma is hop forward as is the taste which adds in extra floral notes with a grassy backbone. The taste is crisp on the palate with a lingering bitterness. Overall, this is an enjoyable brew however it is more of an IPA than a lager but is trying to be combination of both which it fails to do.

3.5 Light, not overly complex, gentle citrus and bitterness. Better on draft than in bottle.

2.5 Had many times before from Tesco had at home in Oct 18 ok larger.

2.8 Wässrig bitterer, moderat hopfiger Beginn. Süffig, konstant bitter, geringe Karbonisierung. Mittellanger Nachhall, unauffällig. Okay. 8/9/9/8/7/9

4.8 Pleasant flavour, dry, very drinkable

3.1 A light crisp drinker, but has a slightly bitter aftertaste, good golden colour but I wouldn’t class it a Lager hybrid

3.8 Robe paille limpide, mousse correcte, grosse carbo. Nez très fruité, houblonné, notes d'agrumes. Attaque très fraiche, légèrement sèche, jolie amertume et goût très fruité : super rafraichissant, très aromatique, bel équilibre même si dominante sèche. Bon mélange, bien mené.

3.6 Bottle, medium stable fluffy head, clear dark gold colour, aroma of herbs and vanila, citrus lemon flavour with a very light bready maltiness and a mellow medium bitterness, very long and lingering lemony aftertaste. Very nice and really crisp.

2.8 Bière bouteille 50 cl bue au Gradina Eden à Bucarest. Bière blonde claire, mousse blanche fine persistante à 5 mm. Quelques bulles vives qui partent du centre, carbonatation moyenne. Nez sur les céréales et le houblon, le mix de lager et d'IPA est reconnaissable. Au goût, une bière fraîche et légère : notes de houblon avec une fin de bouche sur une légère amertume. Agréable et désaltérante, un bon mélange de lager et d'IPA comme annoncé.

3.0 Bottle. Light, veering on watery, rather bitter, dryish, refreshing brew. Wouldn't say exactly balanced in a way that the (citric) bitterness doesn't bite, it does, and there's not much to back even the little IBU-s... Alright still, especially after a long day out.

3.8 Bottle shared with TO on board Baluba 20.05.18. Clear golden. White head and lacing. Refreshing aroma and taste of lemon, lime, succade, fresh grass and meadows. Crisp mouthfeel. Very quaffable.

3.4 Bottle @ You’ll Never Walk Alone, Kolding, to celebrate my completion of a course in Roman History. Pours clear golden with rocky but stable white head. Clear aroma of Hops and citrus, with notes of yeast. Bitter flavour of hops and grass, with sweetish notes of yeast and malt and mild citric touches. Estery and mildly bitter aftertaste. Quite refreshing and not bad for the style.

3.6 Can. Clear very pale yellow colour. Strong citrus flavour with sharp hoppy bitter finish.

4.4 Lovely beer. 500ml from Aldi. New style label. Exp 07/2019. Another excellent Williams Bros beer. Not even a hint of that harsh generic lager taste that I despise so much. Up there with the best. Will buy again. And again. And again.

3.2 0.33 l can, thanks to my family. Pours hazy, pale yellow and foamy white head. Nose is bitter hoppy with a detectable "lager aroma" beneath it. Taste is citrusy and grassy with a gentle bitter tone. Short bitter finish, light body and average carbo, Not bad.

3.6 Notes of orange peel and beautiful after taste engulfs the senses. If you can find it in draught it makes a very drinkable pint!

3.6 Bottle from Hugh. Tastes light Ale fresh with delicate hopping. Refreshing, drinkable. Nice beer.

4.0 a very refreshing beer. being a lager/ipa is very well balanced betwen maltz and fruity flavour. it is not the best ipa an not the best lager but definetly the best lager/ipa mix.

2.4 Bottle from stockmann, helsinki. Pours clear loght golden with an small head. Aroma is grassy, bitterish with some hops. Flavour is similar, on the thinner side. Bitterish finish

3.2 Light golden straw color, white head. Fruity nose with notes of passion fruit, apple and grapes, light malty, hint of solvent. Light malty taste, fruity notes, minerals, light bitterness, nothing near an IPA. Light body, soft to average carbonation.

4.3 Refreshing, citrusy, just delicious. You won't go back to lager after tasting this.

3.1 500ml bottle from internet. Pours golden - yellow with thick white head. Aroma Hops citrus with a touch of grass. Taste hint of sweetness but mostly dry bitter.

2.8 500ml bottle. Clear golden yellow beer, medium soapy white head. Nose is hops, biscuity malt, herbal and citric notes. Flavor is hops forward, citrus, something vegetal. Hops and grainy malt in the finish. Lingering grapefruit peel plus grainy sour notes. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Easy drinkin', but not balanced.
