Can from Coop in Zermatt, Switzerland. Pours clear pale straw with large white head. Aroma is malt, grass, herbs, and lemon. Taste is light to medium sweet, light to medium bitter, and faint acidic. Body is watery with medium carbonation. Finish is medium long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of malt, grain, grass, and herbs. A bit thin but otherwise pretty nice.

Last bottle from a discount of the last year. Opening it at home, Epalinges. There is nothing extraordinary with this one. A weak lager beer on the Swiss way, light, watery, mineral, dry malt, some perle hop, ok to start a night or at the lake, 10.04.23
