Craft lager - intended as a standard pale 'macro' lager though - by Fierce in Aberdeen, apparently brewed for the local soccer team; had this in a pub in Aberdeen called The Noose & Monkey, where the landlady recommended it. Snow white, medium thick, papery lacing, rather creamy and firm head over a clear pale straw blonde robe with metallic 'greenish' tinge and fierce sparkling throughout. Aroma of freshly cut grass, cold pasta, young tree leaves in spring, cooked rice, some sourdough bread and soggy sandwiches. Neutral onset, fizzy carbonation with minerally effect, slender mouthfeel; there is something subtly metallic to it, but subtle enough not to disturb too much. Slick sweetish graininess with vague sourish edge (sourdough again), working to a mild but lingering grassy hop bitterness, even a bit peppery in the end and gently drying. Very pale in colour with is rarely a good sign, but in all quite effective and quenching - not bad at all in fact, almost as if a craft brewery mocks the macro standard lager industry by making a perfect imitation of it which is almost unnoticeably better quality...

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear super pale yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, doughy white bread, softies, baked goods, rich tea biscuit, grain and slight nuttiness. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, dull bitterness, pithy, zesty, touch of lemon curd, straw, grass, clean malt base, white bread, grain husks, cereal and a touch of nuttiness with a dry finish. Light+ body and soft, pillowy carbonation. Crisp and crushable. Nice session gear.
