I love this beer, but then again I am Scottish.

I have marked this from the draught as the can version lets itslef down terribly. Allright if chilled but will never set the world alight.

Draught. Compact of good persistence foam. Limpid yellow color, firm and lightly bubbly. Medium fizzy and bitterish . Malt and alcohol the main rumor. Flowery and many pleasant finish. Overall valid and balanced. Very draw off.

Draught somewhere in Rome. Clear golden - white head.  White bread. Fruity. Fresh. Medium malty. Light hoppy. Light metallic. Very simple. 

Used to be regular of mine for the weekend carry out. Local golf club still sells it (along with few other pubs/clubs) even though S+N stopped mas production and cans etc years ago. I still enjoy a pint or ten when out

UPDATED: APR 11, 2003 very boring. has a horrible sweet taste and overall is just very bland. not worth trying. i've had a can that said 4.1%ABV and one which said 3.6%.

Apparently, I did not get the same beer as my canadian friends ...

An average rating of 1.84 does not look pretty. But actually i thought one wasn’t even that bad. Grainy, some bitterness and quite refreshing.

Clear yellow color, short head. Grainy aroma, some hay. Decent refreshing lager.

Draught in Edinburgh. Biscuit malt aroma. Cereal taste. Biscuity and dry, with a very nice dry, cereal finish. I guess when it isn’t fresh on tap, it’s crap, but this was quite likable. Also my last beer in Scotland.
