Beer-a-Day #262
Born in 1885, Tennent’s was the first lager to be brewed in Scotland, and has remained the market leader and one of Scotland’s favorite beers since then.
Tennent’s Lager, [sic] has a distinctive, crisp and satisfying flavor with a fresh, bright appearance. Made entirely from natural ingredients, including the finest Scottish barley & the purest Highland water, Tennent’s beers are part of Scottish history and at the very heart of Scottish culture.
This was, until very recently, an InBev brand. It was acquired by Irish cider maker C&C (maker of Magners) when Anheuser-Busch InBev spun off all of their Irish, Northern Irish, and Scottish brands. According to the BBC, Tennent’s accounts for 55% of pub sales in Scotland.
Yeah, I know. Another light European lager in a green bottle. I thought I was done.
Pale fizzy yellow, with a big white head. Slightly lightstruck, with precious little aroma beyond that. Flavor is light, and leaves an odd chalky film on my tongue. Fresh, it might be quaffable. This is barely potable.
