Bottiglia. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la continuità olfattiva è corta. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è media. La carbonazione è nella norma. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la costanza gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al palato arrivano sentori di caramello, miele, cereali, nocciola e frutta.
