0.5 l bottle, thanks to my family for this. Pours clear deep golden with thin, quickly disappearing head. Nose is weak lager-like bittersweetness. So is the taste with no distinct notes, closes with short bitterish finish. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Feels like a pale lager, not quite good.
