Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è corta. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, cracker, agrumi e whisky.

Can from Lidl. I didn't mind this one, better than I thought it would be. Clear gold, fading small white head. Sweet grainy malts, reasonable crispness with a hoppy bitterness. Balanced and the corn syrup taste kept to a minimum for a macro lager. Light bodied but far from watery, a bit too carbonated.
