[as St. George Beer, ABV 4.7%] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per l'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di apparenza limpida. Poche bollicine fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è poco incisivo. La forza gustativa è normale. La continuità gustativa è sufficiente. Sul palato si fermano indizi di cereali e di carta.

330ml bottle from Blue Nile restaurant, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. Light to mid-gold, clear with a smattering of white head. Pleasant light corn aroma. Taste with medium sweetness, light grain. Very well balanced for a macro lager.

Pleasantly sweet malt, crisp, and a very mild bitter finish. Not a bad lager at all.

Bottle at African restaurant in Rome. Golden with a lasting white head. Sweet malt and cardboard character like so many other tropical lagers.
