Bottle, 75cl corked. A more or less clear, golden cider with some white bubble formation. Apples, mashed apples, hints of sulphur and autumn orchard on the nose. The flavor has mealy apples and just a tad acidic flavor. Medium body with a decent astringency. Not very challenging and easy drinkable. 090822

Can, 8%. Mild malty aroma, some rough hops. Clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is OK malty, not excessively sweet. Has a little rough hoppiness, but surprisingly balanced still.

13/10 0.5 l can, side by with the Italian (Udine) version. It poured pale yellow body with bigger head. Lemony hoppy aroma, very little malt. Here the difference becomes obvious. Flavor is hoppy as well, honey malty, fine but very watery. Finish was shorter, bittersweet and watered down. As this brew is so thin, it’s not particularly good beer, but better than Italian version for sure.

13/10 0.66 l bottle, side by with the French (H. West) version. It poured pale yellow body with bigger head. Hay and pale lager malt aroma. Flavor is malty, little or no hops at all, sourish corn is present, watery and thin with shorter finish as a mix of everything mentioned. Typical supermarket crappy and one dimensional pale lager. Well, couldn’t expect else. Different than French for sure.

13/10 0.33 l can from Carrefour, Cannes. This should be replacement for the awful Bruckbier! So, let’s see. It poured golden body with medium to bigger head. Weak aroma, some lemony and grassy hops. Slightly bitter from lemony hops, but also sourish corny flavor. Honey malt are its base. Medium bodied with longer sweetish and pleasant finish. It’s not bad at all, quite boring it is, but it has its own special, ale spirit that I liked!
