330mml. bottle as part of a trade with teddybeer, muchas gracias José. Tasted on the 25/10/2018 at home. Color dorado con una espuma media inicial que se disipa rápidamente. Aroma herbal, con toques de pepino y tónicos. El sabor es básicamente lo mismo. Falta de intensidad, tanto en el aroma como en el sabor. Tremendamente hipercarbonatada para su estilo. Final suave y con un burbujeo masivo. Next one please!
