500ml bottle Atlas Hotel, Budapest, Hungary Deep golden body, thick white foam. Aroma alludes to maltiness, hint of biscuit. Moderate carbonation, full body, somewhat sticky texture. Nice sweet biscuity malts combine well with a floral hop bitterness. Quite a nice malt driven lager.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, rated in Bogacs, Hungary.
Appearance: Pours pure amber, perfectly clear and beautiful body colour, body is really wonderful in its texture reminding me Premium Bitters, body is moderately carbonated, head is creamy white to off-white, frothy, initially big, slowly decreasing to mdeium, htere is a nice lacing slightly yellowish shades of head.
Aroma: Nice notes of toasty-grainy malty base, notes of corny background and nicely, gently leavy hoppyness, very mellow but not mild.
Flavour: Nicely bitter, focussed, robust Vienna flavour, perfectly fitting its style, nicely aromatic hoppy front and lingering leavy hoppy nose, nice toasty grains on palate, really noble flavour, finish duration is quite long.
Palate: Body is light to medium, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is gently alcoholic but alcohol is perfectly hidden as for 5.2%, highly astringent, very clean and noble.
