Bottle from the 24hr shop on Market St, Aberdeen. It pours clear yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is grain, papery, grain husks, spice, cereal, damp grass, cabbage and leaves. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, quite sweet biscuity malt, custard creams, damp grain, kinda spicy, wet grass, sweet cabbage and leafy vibes with some paper through the drying finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Pretty fair yellow lager.
