Experience the best of everything with """"""""the cream of Scottish beer"""""""". Its light creamy head with lacing to the bottom of the glass gives you a taste that’s refreshing and moreish with a hint of hop.

This one is nothing special, along with the low aroma its got the normal smooth malts and low hops, its decent.

Reminded me of a Boddingtons. The widget went off and a creamy white head ensued. Does have a honey colour. Abit fish oily and sweet with a few citrus notes. Could have more substance.

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.

on tap at the black bull, Killearn. 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...

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.
