On-tap as Belhaven Best at The Abbotsford, Edinburgh. Golden red/orange color with a creamy white head. Aroma: Faint sweet aroma, grain, some boiled vegetables. Flavor: Creamy mouthfeel (nitro-tap?) but not much taste. Some faint sweet malt, vegetables, bread, a bit of hop bitterness. Boring.

Jul 28, 2008 Keg. Almost always available in Scottish pubs. Used to rely on this pint a lot to give me a good stomach lining. Can be known for its metallic taste, red currants. Dark body.

Pours lovely amber with frothy head, like a kilkenny. For norwegian, this is like coming to beer heaven, but for connossieurs it’s more like burger king; OK...

Jun 4, 2008 Unfortunately this is now the most common beer found in Scottish pubs, replacing tartan special, tennents special, 80/~, 70/~ and any of the other beers that were once a must on every bar in Scotland. Having said that it is not undrinkable, just rather bland. It looks nice, aromas are non-existent and the taste is rather boring. Better than lager but not nearly as good as the older beers it replaced. Always best to stick to micro breweries as these are usually a far better beer.
