being scottish myself really want to like this lager, its not bad ish, beats carling fosters mcewans etc by a long shot in my opinion, nice head i will say that not much hop aroma , kinda grassy smell overall its ok

Bottle marked "Tennents Original Export Lager" at 5% abv. Wet grass aroma. Golden yellow colour with white head, quickly fades, some lacing. Taste is a bit sweet, bitter, watery. Nothing special. Typical pale lager.

Can from lc. Pours golden. Aroma is earthy the taste is earthy as well. Its tastes similar to a english bitter but watery and strange flavours. And its fairly unappetizing. This was a drain pour

I tried this beer on February 4, 2012 after purchasing from the Queen’s Quay LCBO outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a thin white head which quickly disappeared. The aroma was grainy malt, vegetables and acids. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium-high carbonation. The flavour was wretched and metallic. Very acidic and left me not able to discern much in the way of malt or hops. Possibly a drainpour.

500ml can. Pours with a big fluffy white head and a clear amber body. Wet hay aromas with not a lot else. Clean and crisp in the mouth but it does not have much going flirting the way of flavour. Okay without being great.

can. Import 5%. Poured clear liquid gold with a large white head. Grainy hay aroma. Mouthfeel is carbonated, light and slightly dry. Kinda plain grainy-macro start but has a nice bready malt flavour with a honey sweetness.

On tap pours a pale golden color with a 2 finger white head that settles down to a few spots of lacing on the glass. Aroma is mild cereal grains and light hops. Taste is light malty sweet with a more pronounced hoppy bitterness than most pale lagers. Definitely one of the better lagers I have tried and recommend for others as a good tasting experience for this style.

Can from the LCBO at 5% ABV, says imported from Scotland (I guess they pumped it up for Canadian drinkers or maybe we are getting their 1885 Export Lager - not sure). Pours a golden colour with a big creamy white head that stays a while and leaves dirty lace. Matly nose on the corn side... with hints of adjunct. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Not much to the taste; light maltiness, with hints of hop that gives a touch of fruity flavour to it. Nothing really bad and probably a decent session brew in Scotland.

On tap at the firkin in meadowvale. Not my favourites. Very bland tasting and uninspiring ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught at the Harbour Inn, Oban, Scotland.
Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Lagery aroma with floral hops and malt. Maltiness and some notes of hops in flavour. Slightly out of ordinary Lager.
