Mild scent of skunk when opened.

Pours a nice clear gold.

Smells of malt and grain, nice but normal.

Tastes like a different lager has a tart taste. Also there is a caramel flavor here that is almost butterscotch. Almost tastes like there is Rye in this. It is really a 3 but it has a unique taste so I give it an extra .5.

Mouthfeel is good.

Drinkability is average.

11.2 oz (331 ml) into pint glass. foam quickly fades. Barely detectable smell. Slightly sweet taste but not sickly.
much better than many American styles. sometimes expensive isn't always better. goes well with haggis and fish-n-chips, etc. refreshing. we used to get the 440 ml can on the ferry ride from edinburgh to the islands as well.

I am trying a pint of this beer off the tapper at the Glasgow airport. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that is leaving some nice lace. The scent had grain and white wine notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. There was grain and finishing hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

2011: 440 ml can, as Wellpark Tennent’s, brewed at Wellpark Brewery, Glasgow. Bought in Spain. ABV is 4.0%. "Lager" is not part of the beer’s name, but I assume this is just a slightly weaker version of the ordinary Tennent’s Lager. Golden colour, moderate white head, some lacing. Weak sweetish and "industrial" aroma. Fairly refreshing flavour, tolerable hops, and not quite as thin as feared from a 4.0% lager.

This is a popular standard pint here in Scotland at the pub, while it isn't my favourite it surely is a well balanced drink, light lager, mellow taste and color. It's nice served chilled and goes really well with almost any food compared to any other lager or beer I've tried.
