Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear yellow + gold with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and perfumed, lemonade, lemon sherbets, toasty grain, bread, grass and touch of green veg. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bitter - sweet, lemonade, candied lemon, toasty grains, damp grass, lightly spicy vibes and biscuit with a zingy finish. Light+ body and moderate fluffy carbonation. Chilled down this is a decent summer quencher.

Clear yellow, white head
Mild Aroma a bit grainy, faint notes of eggs
Flavor is faint crisp lager with maltyand nutty notes
The mineral watery slightly salty crispness saves the det for an otherwise dull beer

Pours gold with a small white head.
Nose shows toffee, soft corn notes, little else.
Flavours include a bit more toffee and soft bready malt. Subtle.

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.
