Doggythedog (1068), Split, Croatia Sep 18, 2008 0.33l can shared with and courtesy of heavy (thanks!)<br /> Finally got to try this one after years of regretting not buying it in Spain, where I saw it everywhere, but the big bottles just weren’t practical. Poured a pale golden body, almost brutally fizzy at the beginning, with a fluffy medium sized head. Fresh, pronounced nose, fruity malt, sweaty dust, some hop and maybe alcohol. Bitter, hoppy light taste, bready too. Ending with light appley-alcohol notes and some light butter. Hoppy aftretaste that sticks to the back of the tongue. Light, drinkable lager, heck, better than the Estrella. And even if it’s adjunct-laden (corn, rice), they don’t take over the taste.
heavy (507), Split, Croatia Sep 18, 2008 0.33 l can brought from Barcelona by a friend, thanks a lot Mike! So it became my #100 pale lager, as of current classification. It poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Some lemon hops in aroma along with honey malt base. Sweetish malty flavor as well, with some lemon and apple hops spicing it. Pretty watery though with above average carbonation. Has sweeter finish that is not lasting particularly long. Goes down smoothly. Better than Estrella, but still an average pale lager, nothing special. KimJohansen (4299), Copenhagen V, Denmark Sep 7, 2008 Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet grainy aroma with mild malty notes. Sweet flavor with grainy and mild caramel notes. fonefan (5425), Ulfborg, Denmark Aug 19, 2008 <b>Can 33cl.</b><br />Clear light yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light malty, toasted, grain. Flavor is light to moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. (130608) Pinball (773), Allerød, Denmark Aug 12, 2008 faint a´nd boring aroma, clear yellow white head, sweetish, faint dark fruits??? faint bitterness. quite a bit too sweet for my taste. and strange for a pale lager.
