Can, 0.568l. Clear golden pour, two finger soapy white head, short lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Usual lager nose, sweet and malty with grassy notes in the background. Light body, medium carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, soft, refreshing, easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste, more on the sweet side, quite mild. Aroma of malt, grains, grass. Slightly bready, light sugary notes. Short lasting finish, mild lingering bitterness. Decent lager.
