Tennent’s is more than just a great lager– it is a national treasure. As a product, it has always been known for being a great pint - dating back to its long history from 135 years ago when Hugh Tennent brought the recipe back from Bavaria.

Airport beer. Clear gold with a white head. Standard industrial lager. Clean with a little grain character. Medium bodied. Snappy and lightly dry finish from the carbonation. Fine for what it is.

Scotland's equivalent to Belgium's Jupiler, from the 18th-century Glasgowian brewery which in our present time is owned by AB InBev; strange I never actually ticked this one before... Shared by Goedele at the hotel in Aberdeen where we were staying. Snow white, creamy, moussey, shred-lacing, frothy head over a clear 'old golden' robe with strong visible sparkling. Aroma of soggy breakfast cereals, wet sawdust, toasted rice ('hot' pale malts), hints of withered grass, spoiled potato mash, iron, burnt rubber and pond water. Sweetish cereally onset, very clean, sharply carbonated with minerally effect, numbing even; simple, slick cereally body with again that vague, yet annoying toasted rice element, adding some sort of fake, very thin 'nuttiness' which is completely out of place here. Ends with faint rubbery notes alongside a whiff of grassy hop bitterishness, becoming a tad rooty in the end - clearly the hops, in whichever industrial form, are applied a bit more generously here than in many other standard pale lagers churned out by AB InBev around the world. Just a 'microscopic' notch above average for a Euro pale lager.

From tap at Frankenstein, Edinburgh. Aroma is mostly somewhat bready grains, bit watery. Light bitter flavour. Standard macro Lager, at least it's drinkable.

0.568 l can. I try to avoid pale lagers as much as I can, but this one was a gift from Scotland, so I did what I had to.
