Tap at Robinson’s. Belfast: Clear golden coloured brew with an well balanced taste, i like the big red "T". Drunk it with an "Ulster Fry".

Eh, tastes very much like Scotland would be if you could bottle it.

Can, 0.5l. Clear golden pour, three finger frothy white head, good retention, lasting head, broken lacing on the glass. Herbal and grassy nose, grains, light hoppy notes in the background. Light body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, somewhat watery, easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste. Aroma of malt, grains, wet grass. Herbal and floral notes, spices, grassy hops in the background. Medium lasting finish, dry, subtle lingering bitterness. Solid lager.

Not sure where I found this...The Gull maybe, or Cask & Barrel. Either way, it was impossible to pass up a chance at this masterwork. Dull pale brown colour with a thin, weak head. Aroma of bland caramel. I mean this smells like lazy industrial beer. On the palate, this aims straight for the fucking sink with plastic and, if we're lucky, caramel. Just phenols and bullshit, really. There are people in Glasgow who just want to get wrecked, but they have many options at their disposal. There are people who appreciate a good wee heavy...they won't find it here. I have no idea why this beer exists. An exploration in existential sucktitude.
