Old rating - Pours a amber colour with a small white head. Aromas & tastes mildly of fruit & flora. Dry, hoppy with a good bitter finish. Decent lager.

Bottled. Slightly cloudy golden pour, white head. Some bready malts and grass, light tinge of hops. A flavorful but traiditional lager.

Can. Dark golden appearance with a medium to small head. Aroma was grains, just a tad of a hoppy aroma. Taste was very well balanced with a really nice up front flavor and a crisp refreshing finish.

0.355 l can, thanks to my family. Pours clear, deep golden and thick, quickly disappearing head. Nose is, well, typical lager-like bittersweetness. Its taste is quite similar, there’re some sweet grains and moderate bitterness in the finish. Light bodied and softly carbonated, quite easy to drink. I expected somewhat more tbh, this is barely better than average.

Clear golden pour, big white head. Aroma is very grassy, pale, biscuity malts. Good mouth feel, soft carb. Grassy finish, well made, nothing special, but good for what it is.

Aroma of biscuity malt, grass, touch of lemon. Flavour is more biscuit, little bit of sweetness. Decent Lager.

Bottiglia. Il naso viene catturato dall'orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul tetto della bocca si attestano sentori di miele, cracker, frutta secca, erbaceo, agrumi, pompelmo e arancia amara.

Bottle from lowcostbeer, 5 months in date surprisingly. Clear gold, small white consistent head. Aroma is fairly sweet with notes of grains, lemon, resin. Smooth body and with a soft carbonation. Fairly malty and bready but with decent hopping, there is a lemon and floral note to it and a rising moderate bitterness. Nothing particularly amazing but the sum of its parts makes it a very well brewed lager. Its difficult to fault.
