SWING-TOP 75CL. Hazy pale straw, white head. Bready doughy nose, a touch of green fruit. The taste is soft and bready, just a hint of grass and a bit too much yeast. Very little hops but the finish is dry enough. Soft carbonation and mouthfeel. A very nicely done Zwickl style lager.

Clear dark brown, airy beige head. Low retention. Lacing is there. Burnt sugar, toasted & roasted malts, molasses on nose. Light body. Oily mouthfeel. The flavour is similar to the aroma. Roasted & burnt notes are exaggerated. Low bitterness. Quite drinkable.

Pale golden color with a fine white head. Looks ok. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation. Decent balance between sweetness and bitterness. Herbal hoppy and a bit wort-ish malty flavor. Decent thirst quencher in the sun.
