500ml can from Scotmid. Pours clear copper with a fast-vanishing of-white head. Aromas of dark sugar and butterscotch. Taste is sweet with a light herbal note. Thin body, medium carbonation. Astringent finish. Meh.

From a June 2008 BA review: Tennets 70 Shilling in a 440ml nitro-can, 3.5% in alcohol. Found in a supermarket in Tobago and bought purely to review on here (and for the hell of it). Best Before Date had been rubbed out, so I assume it was old! Looked good though, fine amber hue to it, with a creamy off-white head. Malts, hops and yeast abounded in the aroma, a good beery smell. Just what I needed after a week of Carib Lager. Sadly the beer tasted stale (it most likelty was), so not impressed with the taste, mouthfeel and drinkability.

Can from Co-op
Light brown, clear, white frothy head.
Aroma of light caramel malt
Taste of sweet light caramel malt, hint of cereal.
Palate - soft to medium carb, not too sweet, very thin. Finish of light malts.
Overall - This is a very simple low abv light sweet malty beer. I was expecting some offputting flavours and aromas, but there were none. Itβs not that bad, actually - if you want a light simple beer.

Draught at George Hotel, Inverary. Pours amber with a red hue and some head. The nose has a very gentle hint of toffee and cream. The taste gentle notes again - toffee and hay this time. The palate is light bodied and textured and there is a clean-ish finish. Overall, light and sessionable.

Poured from a 500ml yellow can that I bought at a local store in Edinburgh. Airy, beige head that fades away after a short while. Ruby brown β deep and clear. Wort-like malts to the nose. Notes of diluted wheaty malts in flavour. Just about drinkable (hotel room, 02.12.2010).

440ml can of Tennents Velvet with a nitro-widget Poured copper with a half-inch of creamy cream head; strong malty aroma; rather thin with a weak malty flavour; some light hops to finish. Drinkable, but thereβs not a lot more to say about it.
Rerate:500ml can of Tennents Special Attractive copper colour with a thin film of white head; simple malty aroma and flavour. More drinkable than the Velvet as itβs less gassy.
