330ml bottle from Tennent Caledonian Brewery Mail Order - clear amber body, short lasting white top. Heavy malt taste, grainy fruitiness, bold and boozy in the finish. Not bad for Jakey Juice.

Can from Lidl. I didn't mind this one, better than I thought it would be. Clear gold, fading small white head. Sweet grainy malts, reasonable crispness with a hoppy bitterness. Balanced and the corn syrup taste kept to a minimum for a macro lager. Light bodied but far from watery, a bit too carbonated.

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