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.

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.

500ml can picked up at Tennents visitor centre. It pours clear lager yellow with a thick, fluffy head with long duration. The aroma is fairly fresh and bright (for tennents), twist of lemon-twist citrus, toasty grain, dull sourness, biscuit and leafiness. The taste is crisp, dry, quite clean actually, bright lemon - lime citrus upfront, grassy/leafy notes, straw, toasty grain, biscuit and dull sourness with a dry, toasty grain finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. It might be because it's very fresh, but thought this was a big step up from regular juicy T. Crushable on a hot day anyhow.
