500 ml bottle from my friend in Aberdeen; BB 11 09. Label says 5% ABV. Nose is grassy hops and some earthy grains and light yeast. Clear pale gold with a big, lightly lacing, long lasting, yellow tinged head. Flavor is lightly bitter with lots of cereal graininess. One of th e tastiest pale lagers I have had, of course most have been American. Could drink this one anytime.
