Pale lager by a craft brewery stressing its use of cartoons on its labels and cans - something literally hundreds of craft breweries around the world do these days, but anyway. Can from an organic shop in Aberdeen. Moussey and frothy, snow white, pillowy, lacing head slowly diminishing over a clear pale yellow-blonde beere with lively visible sparkling. Aroma of soggy white bread (old bread in this case), flour, young Gouda cheese somewhere, minerals, plaster, damp cotton cloth, wet grass, paper glue, field flowers, oatmeal. Clean onset, sweetish and simple graininess (no esters here so in any case tasting like an actual lager), minerally carbonated - a bit stingy even but acceptable for its style; very slick white-bready pale maltiness with faint glimpses of soapy wheat while the oatmeal, also included in the ingredients list, remains all but indetectable. Develops gentle yet persistent floral and somewhat grassy hop bitterness in its tail, eventually even quite long-stretched and a bit resinous, with adequately drying effect. Somewhat unassuming at first sight, but the wheat and oatmeal do add slickness enhancing drinkability and hops have been applied a tad more generously than is typical for the 'macro' representatives of the species. For an intentionally straightforward craft pale lager, this is okay, nothing more, nothing less.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe: BB 25th Aug 2021. Drank at home in the early hours of 25th Jan 2021. Slight haze to the headless golden brew. No aroma, very little actual taste; either I've got Covid-19 and my senses have gone, or this is 'bland' and uninteresting. It's the later because my strong Cheddar Cheese and Saline Biscuits are still detectable.

Bottle from Taste of Grampian. It pours clear golden with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is quite mellow, soft, toasty grain, white bread and such like. The taste is initially crisp, quite sweet on the malt front, oily, white bread, rich tea biscuit, toasty grain, grassy and a hint of lemon rind with a dryish finish. Medium body and fine/low carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet. Could also been with more carbonation to lift it a bit. Not so bad, but hopefully work in progress.
