Hoppy and well balanced, without being sweet.

Lager
Cotswold Three Point Eight Lager 3.8 £3.50

With her refreshing Continental style and her delicate flavours, she's a thoroughly modern girl with a style of her own. Bubbly and vivacious, Cotswold 3.8 isn't too complicated - just great fun to be with
Cotswold Cotswold Premium Lager 5.0 £3.50
If you think lager doesn't taste of much then it's time you pressed your lips up against a pint of Premium. She's a full flavouredseductress who will soon have you head-over-heals with her crisp, dry taste and flirtatious bitter kick. It's love at first sip.
