Al naso arrivano indizi di orzo. La finezza olfattiva è normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, frutta secca, erbaceo e agrumi.

Clear oale gold with a decent white head. Pale malt, straw, grass, floral hints. Distant industrial yeast. Rather dry. Low to light ending bitterness. Not quite up to a Helles, just a quenching pale lager.
