RBESG08 grand tasting
Pale gold body. Sweet malty nose, a bit grainy. Honeyish malty taste. Simple, drinkable, ok, nothing special.

500 Ml can quite normal yellow lager color, really small head that disappeared really fast. Smells of hops and not much else. Taste is suprisingly good compared to looks, good carbonation and mouthfeel, some fruity characters with bread.

500 ml can. Pale yellow, thin white head that disappears rapidly. Very mild malty aroma. Vegetables and mild malts in the flavour. Some metalic notes.
