Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog - QUICK ONE: Bath Ales Sulis Lager
Visit the Boak and Bailey's Beer Blog site
SOURCE: Bath Ales websiteOne of our locals, The Wellington, is a Bath Ales (St Austell) house and sells both St Austell Korev and Bath Ales new Sulis lager, so we popped into compare the two.
After a shaky start we’ve come to really like Korev which is both straightforward (i.e. not a twist on or reinvention of) and characterful. We hoped that Sulis would be similarly accomplished, with its own identity, but feared that it would simply be Korev under a different name.
We’re happy to report that not only is Sulis distinctly different to Korev but also rather a delight in its own right.
It’s paler than Korev, almost Champagne-like, and less dry. It has a distinct floral, herbal, mint-leaf character that Korev lacks, laid over a backdrop of white grape*and peach. If Korev nods to Munich, this reminded us of Würzburg, where the beer and the fruity local wines share a family resemblance.
We suspect there’ll be a few more pints of this for us over the summer to come.
More generally, we continue to be pleased at the resurrection of Bath Ales, whose beers have shot up in our estimation in the past six months.
