Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours lightly hazy golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, hearty malts, doughy bread, cereal, light spice and freshly cut grass. The taste is crisp, dry, fresh grassy vibes, cracker, cereal, bread, touch of candied orange, straw and minerals with a firmly dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Flavourful, yet we'll balanced. A rather nice lagerbier. What's not to like?
