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.

Tap: Poured a clear golden color lager with a nice medium white foamy head with great resistance. Aroma of crisp hops and light floral malt is quite pleasant. Taste is full of crisp hops with a fuller body then expected. Floral notes and light bitterness makes this quite enjoyable for the style. Also, I would suggest avoiding the bottle for this one since it doesn’t seems to do it justice.

(Bottle 33 cl) 5% ABV. Nice fully golden beer with an even and decent head. (But the colour is a bit of cheating, since this is added artificial colouring, yuck!) Lightly sweetish and malty but completely lacking flavour. Very close to a Bud or Coors. 020204

Beige-straw color, lightly rusty, filtered and clear, with a nice sized white head on it. Aroma of hops, lightly medicinal and quite spicy. Flavor is surprisingly medium-full and quite well-blanced between bitter hops and nice soft malt (light toffee, sweet bread (diacetyl?). Very unique and quite good. Almost like there are some soft, yellow fruit esters in here, either that or just lots of yeast apparency. Another person I was with ordered a Stella and as I did a side-by-side tasting, it really showcased how much better tennents is (and how awful Stella is).
