What can I say - Scottish lager is right down there with Indian and Korean as some the worst in the world. Grab an Ardbeg instead.

Tin. O.k it doesn't get much worse than this, we have hit rock bottom and nowhere further to go. I gave mine away after a swig at the cricket, why on earth would anyone want to drink it??

maeib (6645) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAR 12, 2007
Draught. A golden coloured lager with a bit of grass to the otherwise icy aroma. The taste is just lager snatch sicklyness. Pretty poor and a struggle to finish a pint of.

Instructions for brewing: Dissolve sugar in water. Add some chemical flavours and voila! McEwans Lager! Its crap.

I really cant say anythign for this beer. donated by my elder brother because he really really didnt want it. Aroma and taste get points for not being a corny as expected but a terrible alround beer.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2003 Just another lager of ’no taste’ series ... Aromas ok but to dilute . Waterish .
