Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a solid, lacing white head. Faint and a little tired citrus aroma. Light body, a dry fruitiness and some obvious corn notes. Dry finish. This Sensation series is incredibly underwhelming in spite of the name. 090424

Canned 500ml. -from Carrefour Aosta, shared with hrabren. Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, some green apple and whiff of alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, bready, caramel, light cardboard and green apple with alcoholic finish. Not so terrible.

Ambar anaranjada, turbia de espuma no muy duradera. Aroma bastante lupulado, frutal y acaramelada. Cuerpo moderado buen punto de gas. En boca es seca, de amargor notable, y agradable sabor de base acaramelada, con predominio lupulado, ahora mas resinoso sin perder notas frutales. Notable

Canned, huge thanks Ogi for sharing with Hrabren and me! Clear golden body, off-white head, thick. Very much flawed aroma, enormous apple, sweet fruit, a vague whiff of a fecal touch, maybe honey. Flat, empty, sugary taste, some alcohol, vague bitter hoppy touch by the finish, finishes stale, but at least dry enough not to be godawful. With the mild burn, it just tastes like wrong, like life choices chosen very much unwisely and a defective coping mechanism in place. It's non-defective enough to keep some semblance of pride, somewhere deep inside, but checks all the other boxes on the downward spiral scale. --- Beer merged from original tick of Saer Brau Prestige 8% on 24 Jan 2024 at 21:42 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 3 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4.

0.5 l can thanks to Ogi who brought it from France, shared with Marko and him. Clear golden, small off-white head. Grainy, lightly fruity, corn, bread. Sweet, bready, also harsh, alcoholic, smooth, bland, soft carbonation. Minimal bitterness. Light, too sweet finish.
