Can. A clear, quite pale golden body with minimal white head on top. Malty, grainy nose with some banana-like fruityness. Freshly mown grass and notes of apricot and banana in the flavor, but very low on bitterness. Thin and watery. Considering it’s a discount beer, I’m not disappointed. Not a beer to return to though.

Bottle, thx to tarjei. It pours a clear golden body witha a small white head. Malty sweet aroma with something reminiscent of alcohol, but at 4.5% ABV I doubt it’s that. Some fruity notes in the background. Thin in the mouth, and quite fizzy, with fruits, malt and sweetness, as well as a little hoppyness saving the day. Sticky, fruity and surprisingly hoppy finish with a low bitterness, and the same alcohol-like thing found in the aroma. I guess it sort of does the job in a hot Spanish city, but it’s truly forgettable, bland and boring. (080514)
