Bottle [from Euro swap 2019-2 thanks to Rosenbergh] at home. Clear golden color, decent sized white head. Aroma and flavor are moderately malty, lightly a distant smoky hint, lightly sweet. Smooth texture, decent body, soft carbonation. Easy to drink quite pleasant lager. Interesting that light smoky touch. 7-3-7-4-14.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - 5.0 % ABV - BB 13.08.2019, from a supermarket, 20190306) The beer poured brown, bit oily and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, grain and rye bread. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, rye bread, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy, lightly sweet and bitter. A rather tasty grassy brew with rye bread notes.
