Wheat Beer
Halcyon Daze 5% is Gyle 59’s wheat beer and
contains 50% malted wheat as well as coriander
seeds which we add to the hopback after the boil
when the hot wort is steeping the Saaz hops. Light
and highly carbonated the beer is hoppier than a
German weissbier, for example.
With aromas of bubble gum and bananas from the
wheat beer yeast, this beer goes well with cured
meats such as salami but also pairs well with cakes,
fruit salad and ice cream.
An aromatic ale brewed using a minimum
of 20% wheat malt associated mainly with
Germany (weiss beer) and Belgium (witbier)
which has the adjuncts of orange curacao and
coriander. Sour beers such as Berliner Weisse,
lambic and gose are also made with a significant
proportion of wheat with the addition of lactic
acid to the process which sours the beer

Pilsner Lager
Harts Price: £14.40
Our imperial wheat beer called Pushing 10 (9.5%)
was a collaborative brew made with Brew Shack
from Wimborne. To achieve the strength that the
brewers were after the mash tun was pushed to
its limit and the beer was boiled for three times
longer that usual. The result is an exceptionally
full-bodied brew with Noble Tettnang and First
Gold hops combining to give a gentle and smooth
bitterness. Fragrant orange and floral notes make
this a beer to savour in front of a roaring fire. Serve
in a chalice style glass to encourage sipping or lay it
down to enjoy at a future date.
Lager
Lager in German (meaning storeroom or warehouse) is brewed differently to ales, as lagers are cold fermented with
a bottom-fermenting yeast. This can take several weeks, and the resulting beer will develop different flavours than
a yeast fermented at a higher temperature. Lager is then cold stored for a minimum of 6 – 12 weeks before it is
considered ready to drink. Lager can be pale, amber or dark and is usually hopped with Saaz which gives a subtle
bitterness and high aroma.
Style file
Malts - Pale pilsner, lager malt, Vienna and crystal malts.
Hops - Moderate bitterness and aroma, craft lagers are often dry hopped with new-world hops.
Yeast –Lager yeast and cold fermentation.
ABV – 4.5% – 6%
Glass – Half pint stem glass such as a tulip, or pilsner glass.
Food match – Brie, bread, pizza, smoked sausage, macaroni
cheese.

Gyle 59’s Vienna Session Lager 4.2% is a golden lager that has a honeyed
aroma and taste with bready flavours from the malts used. It is dry hopped
with Cascade hops and lagered for an average of three months. Full of
flavour, this lager is our best draught seller at Cellar 59 - I call it honey
on toast!
