3 Splügen

Small white head over pale golden, clear beer. Cuscusnose, grains, but some dried, dusty hops as well. Metallic, faintly grassy malts, empty. Very watery palate and ditto body. "Ai tre luppoli"? - I see, they’ve added three hopcones. On a zillion hectolitres brew...

chiara schiuma non abbondante non molto persistente note di cereali granoturco un leggero floreale in bocca cerali succedanei il luppolo dove è? leggeremente più raffinata nell’utilizzo dei luppoli ma non nel malto

Can, thanks faroeviking for sharing aroma : slight sour, corn. flavor sweetish, chemical appears yellow, small white head.

0.66l bottle bought at the Ipercoop store in Kaštel Sućurac. Brewed at the Induno Olona plant. Poured a golden colour, lazy carbonation, first poured absolutely no head, but after the second pour it was medium sized and thick. The nose isn’t the best around. Cabbage, some graininess and malt. The taste is watery... alcohol (bah), not the greatest maltiness around, no hops in the taste, but I guess they make the sourish lemony aftertaste. Palatable but crap. --- Beer merged from original tick of Splügen ai Tre Luppoli on 19 Oct 2009 at 11:22 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 3 | Flavor - 3 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4. Original review text: Bottle from Andora, shared with heavy. Poured a big thick white head that didn’t last long. Light eggy nose, extremely light flowery notes too. Empty taste, thin maltiness, bit dry and grainy. Hops? Hah, maybe some really light presence in the aftertaste. As are most of these lagers, drinkable but crap. Still not convinced that this is different from the old one, despite the new/old recipe talk and the name.

Süß-getreidiger Antrunk, sehr flasch, unglaublich mild, säuerlich, einfach plörrig! Unangenehm billig wirkender und dünn hopfig-getreidiger Abgang. Da ist der Name Splügen passend, denn er klingt stark nach Spülwasser. Test vom 1.11.2007, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 7,2,5,3,7,2 - 3,35

66 cL bottle. Pours pale clear yellow with a dense white head. Slight malty dry to sweet aroma. Flavour is slight sweet malty quickly turning into a dry hoppy bitterness with a minor fruity whiff. Ends dry bitter.

Can, 4.5%. Golden colour, small white head. Sour maize flavour. Not unlike many other bad lagers.

Can. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma is barnyard malt. Taste is sweet and malty.

Can. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Pale yellow colour. Bready ugly aroma and flavor. Harsh bitter short finish. Very watery palate.

(Sample #2 [bottled] at the first Biertest-Online Gathering, Düsseldorf, 29.12.06) Clear, pale golden colour with a short frothy white head. Slack and sweet malty, corny nose. Light-sweet, metallic flavour, slim bodied but has a crispy carbonation. Malty, corny taste, typical pale lager character; very light herbal notes towards the slim finish.
