330ml bottle, (best before 09.09.2023), bought at Son Vivot in Palma de Mallorca. Overcarbonated gusher! Unclear dark brown body, beige head, spotty lacing. Does not smells good, sourish malty. Taste of sourish rye malts, maybe some spices to it. Prolonged ending. Sorry, but this is almost undrinkable, drain pour. (Hotel room, Port de Soller, 14.07.2023).

33 cl bottle at Mariner Club, Port d'Alcudia, Majorca. A dark amber to orange hazy pour with a very short-lived off-white head. Aroma is porridge, yogurt, elderberry, bitter lemon, coriander. Dry, slick, medium to full-bodied. Quite bitter yet crisp. Long-lasting piney aftertaste.

bottle from el corte ingles. Unclear yellow, smooth white head. aroma is sligthly yeasty and sourish. flavor is sourish like apple juice then quite yeasty like a belgian beer, with a somewhat malty ending. Had this been a wild ale or a sour beer I would have thought it was good stuff, but if the intention was to make a pilsener, then it's a total fail of the kind you could expect to find from a new brewery 20 years ago, not now... Or perhaps forastere simply do sour lagers and I did not know that. In any case, I usually rate according to taste, not to what is claimed on the label, so I'll try to rate it while not expecting a pilsener. Should this one I have here be rated as a pils, it would be 1.8 or lower. BBF 13-08-2023 rated 02-06-2023
