It is a standard beer but it is not the same boring lager. The body is red-orange clear, a bit watery, malt, few bitterness and toffe touch, 29.04.16

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso orzo e caramello. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è appena percepibile. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è appena percepibile. Sul tetto della bocca si attestano impressioni di caramello, miele, cereali, frutta secca, erba e agrumi.

10/07/2021: Shared with Dan and Grumbo at the Pre Euro 2020 final Share. Aroma of caramel, grains, cornflakes, bread and cry fruits. Taste is slightly metallic. Not the best.

Rich ruby and light brown coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of relatively strong malts with a light nutty and earthy scent with some light sugars here and almost no hops at all. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly strong nutty and earthy qualities show at first with some light sweetness from the caster sugar and a little bit of stone fruits, but this really is all about the malts with a super easy-drinking profile. Aftertaste shows some earthiness and surprisingly, a good amount of creaminess and lactose notes with only a touch of hops and bitterness, but this is smooth and easy-drinking. Overall, a light and crisp beer that has a bit of a toasted malt profile, but very easy-drinking and sweet without any hop notes or associated bitterness. Nice to sample here in Peru and a welcome option to have a slight difference from light lagers. I sampled this 33 cL bottle, purchased from Grifos Espinoza [minimart] in Lince, Lima, Peru on 02-August-2022 for S./4,90 while walking the streets of Lima on 02-August-2022.
