A pilsner-style lager with personality. Hearty, malty flavours and just the right amount of fruitiness, hops, and bitterness. Tastes just like home… If your home happens to be Scotland.

Pours gold with a small white head.
Nose shows toffee, soft corn notes, little else.
Flavours include a bit more toffee and soft bready malt. Subtle.

330ml bottle. Opalescent, dark brass colour with average, frothy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, white head. Grainy, malty aroma, minimally soapy hoppy and doughy overtones. Taste is mildly bitter, minimally soapy hoppy, minimally grainy and spicy, pale malty basis.
Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Simple, monotonous, not the tastiest flavours - nothing exciting.

Can, 0.5l. Clear golden pour, three finger frothy white head, good retention, lasting head, broken lacing on the glass. Herbal and grassy nose, grains, light hoppy notes in the background. Light body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, somewhat watery, easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste. Aroma of malt, grains, wet grass. Herbal and floral notes, spices, grassy hops in the background. Medium lasting finish, dry, subtle lingering bitterness. Solid lager.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce indizi di orzo. La finezza olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è nella norma. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al palato finiscono caratteristiche di miele, pane, frutta secca, erbaceo e agrumi.

Tap at Goblet ZG. Why?!?! Fairly clear golden body, lasting thick white head. Somewhat fruity aroma, dusty, cidery touch, slightly moldy. Empty creamy grainy taste, sweetish, vague apple.
