Pale lager (Helles style) by a brewery in Glasgow. Can from - I believe - the Tesco supermarket in Aberdeen. Snow white, moussey, medium thick, irregular, fairly stable head, clear deep yellow golden robe with sporadic sparkling. Aroma of fresh white bread, touch shortbread even, Grana Padano cheese (odd but not unpleasant), dry cookies, paprika powder, wet bricks, cheese croquettes even somehow. Very crisp onset, very sharp and stingy, minerally carb, painful even at first; rounded sweetish 'pure barley' white-breadiness, smooth and cereally, 'baguette'-like almost, feeling quite pure and full for the style. Minerality continues to add 'fraîcheur' and balance, while hoppiness manifests itself in a very light creamy abbey cheese-like retronasal touch and mild 'grassiness' - while indeed the pure, minerally and white-bready-malty main character remains firmly in place, as it ought to be in a Helles. Honouring the Reinheitsgebot, this Glasgowian lager ticks all the boxes of its intended style and even does so with the finesse and 'Fingerspitzengefühl' it requires - a very rare feat outside of Bavaria (where I had many a Helles last year, some of lesser quality even than this one). Very accomplished, you do not often see such a successfully detailed German style lager being made by a non-German craft brewery, especially a British one...

Bottle 0,33ltr: Golden clear coloured brew with sweet hoppy bitternesh. Glasgow meets Bremen or Hamburg, but surely something Northern Germany.

Clear golden and a fine head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Decent sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Fine carbonation level. Malty, mild bread and herbal flavor. [On tap @ source]

Tap at West. Clear golden, low head. Dry grainy base, some caramel, good amount of herbal and earthy bittering. Medium body, dry chewy. Crispy, a hint too bisquitty.

On tap at Crown in Biggar - Clear gold, good top. Straight forward maltiness on the nose, decent biscuity mat taste. No arguments with this one.
