Crisp, grassy aroma with some mild peppery hops. Clear light gold pour with a lasting 1" thick head and decent lacing. Light and balanced feel that is very crisp, easy and refreshing. Grainy/grassy malt flavor with some mild balancing hops. Moderately bitter with a touch of sweetness. Soft, quenching beer, an easy lager for sure.

From World Beers box, this poured a clear golden color, with a fat white head and good lacing. Nose of malts and some grassy hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is of light malts. Not much finish. Easy to drink however.

Can, Oddbins Inverness. I find this beer to be a easy going beer, and generally good value. Although 5%abv, you wouldn’t know it by taste.

Clear golden pour under a good inch and a half of white bubbly head. Scent of hops right from the table. Noisy head, I can hear is popping and fizzing. Stronger malty scent when brought to the nose. A slight scent of vegitable. Watery taste, with some hops and a slight touch of malt but not much else. Much more in the nose then the mouth.

Bottle green, 660 ml
Appearance: yellowish shiny, pee like body when taken to the sunlight, carbonation visually is medium and beer dlowly decarbonates, there is some sediment floating in the body texture (not out of date). Head is initially medium and slowly decreasing to small, white in colour, frothy, there is distinct and very good lacing.
Aroma: A bit skunky (but not repulsive) due to green bottle I hope, chalky, mineral nose, grainy a bit, definitely towards freshness and lemony accents, not heavy, bitterness, hay, dry, grassy hops.
Flavour: Front is fresh, soft, accidic and mineral, than comes slight saltyness on palate, after you swallow the beer, in the aftertaste you can feel grains and clean mineral accents, very simple and good quality ingredients with no additional sweetness, some notes of old cristalized honey. Finish duration is average, lemony accents, refreshing and quite easy going.
Palate: Body is light, texture wattery to dry, carbonation is mild to medium on palate. Finish feel is chalky, a bit metalic, cardboard, crystalized honey.
