(Bottle 33 cl) Fully golden with a creamy, white head leaving pretty laces. Hoppy aroma. Lightly sweet malt with some rather unusual - considering it’s style - roasted notes. Rather good hopping. 011205

Blond color. Some malty aroma and bready taste, quite high bitterness. Ordinary and not particularly interesting. Sweeter than the average South European Lager.

6.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
An amber beer with a fine dense off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of honey. The flavor is boring compared to the inviting aroma, it is malty with notes of roasted bread and a dry finish.

3.9/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 2 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Skunky and moldy aroma (cheesy?). (still within best by date). Thick, pitted looking head (like cottage cheese). Pale gold. Mostly clean and balanced flavor, bordering on bland. A little sharp in the finish.
