Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano impressioni di orzo, di frumento e di fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La parte liquida offre una visione offuscata e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione allegra e vivace. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro non è invasivo. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso quasi balsamico, erba, agrumi e arancia.

Another one from CroCraft, courtesy of and shared with Clemente (but not Javier) himself! Hazy yellow body, white head. Big pear esters and honey touches in the aroma. Lean taste, light pear esters again, light salty touches, and vague oxidized malty touches. Actually, quite drinkable, not impressive, but in good shape and tasty enough for the style. If you just take it as a regular golden/blonde and find it in good shape, you shouldn't be that disappointed.

Grainy, papery, slightly bland, a fruity touch, unripe apricot. Light, drinkable, very soft bitterness. Light finish.
