The can looks good. The beer in the glass also, but very fast disappearing foam. Tastes very vapid with an artificial dry moment. Not a good beer.

The bottle looks not good, the beer in the glass neither. Not as sourish as other spanish beer, but not a good one. Too washy.

(Can 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear, pilsener golden with a very white head. Metallic aroma. Light-bodied with sticky sweet malt and corn - and a metallic touch. The finish is dry. Unclean and unpleasant. 240407

Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet grainy with a light touch of metal. The flavor is sweet metallic, leading to a dry bitter end. A different hop sort would do it good.

Can. Clear, golden with a minimal white head. Quite fruity-sweet aroma with some unpleasant notes. Fruity-sweet flavor as well, with green apples and some tropical fruits. Too thin body, but it’s not too bad overall, it’s a spanish beer after all. (070208)

Canned (thanks mabjork). Yellowish golden colour, no head. Skunked nose, almost like stepping into a barnyard. Flavour is a bit better, but is quite sweet malty and hoppy. Some grassyness also there. This is really bad. Please, stay away from it.

Fruchtiger Apfelantrunk, auch später kommen keine Biernoten hinzu. Die Süße bleibt moderat, das Getränk erfrischend. Bier ist es aber nicht. 6/7/9/6/5/5
