Can at the launch at Mount, Aberdeen. It pours crystal clear very pale yellow with a fizzy white head. The aroma is quite clean, grassy, leafy, toasty grains, smooth powdered sugar sweetness and custard cream biscuits. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, pleasing bitterness, grass, leafy, herbal, bitter - sweet character, verbena, toasty grains, biscuit, peppery spice and weak lemony citrus with a dry finish. Average body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. A classier lager offering from the big T. Bitter snap works well.

0,33 l bottle from Dehlwisch, Lohne. On sale for 1,20 €. BB 30.11.2025. Clear amber in the glass with a nearly two finger white stable head. Looks good. Intensive floral aroma with resin and pine, malty background. Taste starts with malty hop bitterness, increasing sweet and floral perfumed. Not as complex as I expected due to the nose. Below average carbonation.

Airport beer. Clear gold with a white head. Standard industrial lager. Clean with a little grain character. Medium bodied. Snappy and lightly dry finish from the carbonation. Fine for what it is.

Very light straw, clear, decent head, lemon and zest in aroma. Light, almost watery, high carbonation. Small, grassy bitterness. Not for me.

Scotland's equivalent to Belgium's Jupiler, from the 18th-century Glasgowian brewery which in our present time is owned by AB InBev; strange I never actually ticked this one before... Shared by Goedele at the hotel in Aberdeen where we were staying. Snow white, creamy, moussey, shred-lacing, frothy head over a clear 'old golden' robe with strong visible sparkling. Aroma of soggy breakfast cereals, wet sawdust, toasted rice ('hot' pale malts), hints of withered grass, spoiled potato mash, iron, burnt rubber and pond water. Sweetish cereally onset, very clean, sharply carbonated with minerally effect, numbing even; simple, slick cereally body with again that vague, yet annoying toasted rice element, adding some sort of fake, very thin 'nuttiness' which is completely out of place here. Ends with faint rubbery notes alongside a whiff of grassy hop bitterishness, becoming a tad rooty in the end - clearly the hops, in whichever industrial form, are applied a bit more generously here than in many other standard pale lagers churned out by AB InBev around the world. Just a 'microscopic' notch above average for a Euro pale lager.
