Beer review: Tennent's Super (9% Scotland: Wellpark Brewery)
The Tennent's Super is a lager, more specifically a strong pale lager. It's brewed by Wellpark Brewery, a Scottish brewery located in Glasgow. The brewery was founded in 1740 and is currently owned by C&C Group, a large manufacturer of alcoholic drinks in the United Kingdom.
Taste: The Tennent's Super is a medium-bodied beer with a slightly sweet, malty body. The beer offers fruity aromas and a faint herbal hoppiness which is surpassed by the stingy taste of alcohol.
Overall, the Tennent's Super is a very decent beer. The category of strong pale lagers, especially when it comes to the ones produced in bulk quantities is a tough one. When you add the light body of a lager with the high percentage, the result is usually a very distinctive taste of alcohol. This happens with the Tennent's Super as well, but actually in this beer the alcohol taste is still tolerable. I guess that's some sort of an achievement. However, nothing for the beer connoisseurs.
3/5
