This was actually a 33cl bottle brewed in the UK under licence. So, I’m not sure if this is exactly the same product. Anyway, it poured golden and with expected carbonation - the head is better than expected. It looks good! The nose has unsweetened muesli. The taste has more muesli but with just a hint of the dreaded sweetcorn. However, it has the expected body and it cleans very well on the end. This is a better lager than I expected to find outside of Germany and the Czech Republic.

Can (brewed in the U.K by ’Wells and Young’): Pale greenish-golden, relatively quickly collapsing big white extremely fluffy head; delicate perfumed grainy-hoppy nose with a slight papery touch; light sweet-bitter flavour, pretty watery; short and also watery finish with a faint tartness in the aftertaste. Only suitable for Mazda-drivers......

Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, brewmash, caramel, and rice, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Thank Theis for sharing.
