Keg at the Queens Head, London (as well as bottle on various occasions). It pours golden yellow, with a thick white head. The nose is toasted malt, floral, light spice, grass and citrus. The taste is white bread, golden syrup, biscuit, floral, lemon, hay and grass, with a light citric-bitter finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. A flavoursome Scottish lager, spot on.

50cl bottle @ Berts Bar, Edinburgh. Pours golden but hazy with steady carbonation. The nose has toffee, hay and a hint of lemon. The taste has a good tangy lemon note with cereal going on in the background. The palate is big for a lager, so medium bodied, the texture is also quite chunky for a lager and the finish is clean and refreshing. Overall, a classic Scottish take on lager!

Bottle from Tesco
Appearance Light golden, clear, 3 finger frothy white head, good lacing.
Aroma Light malt, some light grassy and citrus hops.
Taste Straw malt, light grapefruit hops with a gentle bitter finish with some tart grapefruit.
Palate Fresh, crisp mouthfeel, light body. Carbonation bit more than average.
Overall Very good lager out of the fridge (16/20), when warms up more like a golden ale (14/20). I think it’s 70% golden ale, 30% lager. I wonder what this would be like from keg?
