330ml bottle from Waitrose. Light golden amber, clear and somewhat thin-looking with a bit of white head. Metallic corn aroma with a bit of musty malt. Taste is reasonably sweet and spicy. The tangy bitterness in the finish turns astringent. Corn syrup aftertaste. Decent but not over-the-top carbonation hides the weak body. The high-ish ABV makes this uninteresting beer slightly more drinkable.

Pours a clear amber color, topped with a small and non-lasting off-white head. Mild, almost non-existant aroma. Some hints of grass and caramel, but hardly. Sweet, malty with some caramel presence, gentle. Mild bitterness in the finish. A bit grassy. Nothing unpleasant, very light and watery, but no real taste or aroma. Drinkable, but why...

Ambar, con no mucha espuma. Aroma a grano. Cuerpo medio y notable carbonatacion. Inicio ligeramente dulce que pronto evoluciona hacia un tono seco y bastante amargo, que perdura. Ningun sabor destacado, pero tiene equilibrio y el conjunto es potente y agradable.

Pours pale amber with white frothy head. Vanilla, corn flakes, biscuit. Starts silky and a bit sweet, then develops a fresh sour touch, and finishes displaying hints of lemon in a not-so-bitter end.
