Mas pajiza que dorada. Nebulosa. Bonita espuma de consistencia y duración medias. Aroma agradable, frutal. En boca es ligera de cuerpo, suave de gas. Sabor muy agradable de base malteada, se nota el trigo, con ricas notas cítricas, mandarina, limón. Notas secas y especiadas. Todo en una lager. Bien hecho.
