Gros Cochon lager review
Submitted

Before anybody else says it, I have
to admit that the very concept of drinking something called Fat
Pig sold me on this lager.
Come on. Don't tell me you never bought a bottle of Fat Bastard Chardonnay, just to see the look on your host's faces when you handed it over?
The first thing I noticed when I poured the beer was that Gros Cochon is a much redder lager than I'm used to, a sort of medium amber.

Most of the lagers I've come across have been very pale blondes.
Expecting a gassy experience, I must say I was pleasantly surprised during my Gros Cochon lager review. Again, I can only report that my expectations of a fizzy lager were not met, but I was far from disappointed!
It's a smooth, easy brew to drink and you
won't be nicknamed "Burpules" by your friends after downing
too many of them.
One final note about Gros Cochon. The taste was also surprising.
Again, I'm used to commercial lagers with a chemical twang to them. The intial taste of, say, Stella Artois, is like a sushi knife slicing through your thirst, but then you're left with an aftertaste like a mouthful of pig's blood.
Gros
Cochon lager is an all-round surprise: it looks, tastes and goes down
more
like a nice mild ale than a lager.
For those reasons and its remarkable name and cool label, I suggest you give this little piggy a whirl!
