Over rated, takes 5 minutes to pour then develops slowly at the back of the palate, moving from hops to barley to hops, then misses the midield tones entirely, briefly introduces a citrus element for 5 minutes of disapointment before ending in a piss poor finish.

Never had any so cant say, apart from premium lagers most of them are bland sameish and uninspiring anyway.

Wow! I thought it was just a lager!!  |

Can someone explain why the kiosk staff don’t pull 20-30 pints in advance of h/t please?
Not of Town lager, anything that’s dispensed from the pump. They could even prep a few Bovrils if they put their mind to it, which would surely help folk by them not having to consider if an asbestos lining being added to their tongue/throat would be a good investment…

My review is…. Magic Rock sell what is in my opinion the EXACT SAME drink but labelled as “Magic Lager” in smaller cans at the exact same equivalent price by volume. Buy this instead as with the smaller 330ml you’ll be wasting less money to discover it’s pretty shit! |

I don’t mind it but it’s so subjective we could have 10 different drinks on and some wouldn’t be happy. Which is normal. Can’t please everyone. Impossible job really.

If in the summer we signed a keeper called Hops and a defender called Barley with an unheard of overseas injury prone forward called Citrus Element this would read like a Town match review. |

It's a fair review! Disgusting, way too happy in taste and over priced!

ps Magic Rock beer - average at best - awful if not served cold

It's shite, and I say that as someone thats a fan of Magic Rock. Nothing ever seems to taste right at large sporting events, even if it's supposed to be something you would usually like, and it's like they've actively tried to recreate that disappointment. It's a shame because they used to sell this during the Premier League era and it was decent Promised Land |

"Brewed by Town fans, for Town fans, Town Lager is a crisp, clean, and refreshing pilsner-style beer that is perfect for watching those last ditch tackles, edge of your seat penalties, long range screamers, and all the moments in between."
No way do they support Town

No way do they support Town talk pish and its tastes like pish Had they said "Brewed by Towns fans - Town Lager is like signing a crap manager and average players - bearable at times but ultimately leaves a taste like budgie cages bottom in your mouth and make the world fall out your arse when the bottle gets relegated to the bin" |

Oh, we're allowed to drink it whilst watching live football? I take it all back, what an awesome beer. |

It's a shame because they used to sell this during the Premier League era and it was decent Promised LandTotally with you on this as someone who is also a big fan of their stuff. It lets the rest of their range and their brand down. On the opposite end of the spectrum though, the corner bar in Kilner bank sells a pint of Highwire that's also £5.90. I definitely wouldn't call a pint at that price good value but it is pretty much the same as you'd be paying for the same at their tap room, and not too far off Town prices. Its a higher ABV than Saucery and the other generic branded options (yet same price) and is a genuinely excellent pint. |

I'd genuinely head down to the ground for a pint if they served Highwire or Saucery. I think there's a myth that football fans only like lager. Don't mind the occasional decent one, but as covered in this thread, Magic (Town) Lager is grim and no better than the other options in the ground. Nice gimmick with the branding but the novelty wore off a long time ago. |

I used to sit upper tier Riverside and they didnt have it there so presume it might just be that Kilner Bank corner bar at the bottom of the steps that does it but defo have Highwire and Saucery. As well as Neck Oil randomly. No idea why they have such a different selection to all the other bars. |

Anyway I have it on good authority that Town Lager (plus the stand branding) is going at the end of the season and that Cruzcampo and Moretti is inbound, although I think Moretti might be corporate areas only.

Not normally a lager drinker, but Peroni is a decent one that I'd buy if they served at Town. Would miss my hip flask though |

I'll only have a pint of Highwire and/or Neck Oil pre match either at the kilner bank kiosk or in the fanzone, much to my son's annoyance (especially if it turns into 2). That Amstel is like witch piss IMO. |

Dairy Freak also very drinkable from Magic Rock👌 Not sure I'd go out of my way to get to the ground early to drink it though, especially as likely to be more expensive than available in town...where I can sit and chat with mates without getting rained on, and who are separated into three different stands if we went to the ground and didn't go to into the Fan Zone (cos of chucking it down or whatever). |
