as Eagle Bombardier] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo e acquoso. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al palato si fermano indizi di caramello, miele, nocciola, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, erbaceo e agrumi.
