#22 - Camden Town Brewery - Camden Hells Lager

This is the best lager I've drunk in the last year!  Happy to admit that others might have a different view, but the bottle I tried was a total revelation and made me commit to giving the genre a second chance. It has a beautiful warm grain flavor and aftertaste, a lovely pale gold color, and the ideal amount of fizz.  American brewers take note - this is what you ought to be producing!  I can happily imagine drinking this in a club, with a curry, or just simply cracking open a bottle at home.  This may not be the Platonic ideal of a lager, but it comes remarkably close.  Really I have very little else to say other than, go, now, find a bottle, chill it, and enjoy.  Repeat.  Again.  And again.  A very happy 8/10 and a firm determination to try the rest of Camden Town's range.
