Donzoko Festbier Lager 500ml, Hartlepool

Donzoko's head brewer Reece was recently unofficially anointed the UK's Prince of Lager, tinkering away in the North-East perfecting some trad styles and some funky new beers too. Check out their instagram page for whimsical videos of him sampling each in some of the North-East's most picturesque locations. Gloriously rich, malt-driven lager with stonking orange peel, treacle and toffee flavours. Layered but finishes with resonant bitterness to refresh.
