The mirror takes a long, long time to make, to polish to perfection. Even with the finest Pacifica and Motueka hops, with the best malts and keenest brewers eye, the spectre of conformity can creep past; but Not Here. The Keekin Glass is the mirror that keeps the Brew Master honest. No Bones. No Gimmicks. Here is the craft. Look deep, for here is the Keekin Glass.

473ml can - something something about this brew not being a mirror? Don't care.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some dispersing fog bank lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of crisp, grainy and crackery cereal malt, some underripe apple and pear fruitiness, faint estery yeast, and some plain earthy, leafy, and grassy noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, mixed pome and citrus fruity notes, ethereal yeast, and more tame leafy, floral, and dried hay-like hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and more or less smooth, with nothing really looking to cause trouble here. It finishes off-dry, the sturdy malt character exhibiting some impressive lingering gumption.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with an adequate old-school hoppy character, and a solid malt base. Worthy of checking out, especially if you have trouble finding German Pils in the first place around here, and even if the old Scottish themes are a bit confusing in their earnestness.
