| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Bottle. Grainy watery flavor. No specific aroma. Sweetish uninteresting beer that made me wonder what hops were used. JorisPPattyn (5181), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Small white head over pale golden, clear beer. Cuscusnose, grains, but some dried, dusty hops as well. Metallic, faintly grassy malts, empty. Very watery palate and ditto body. "Ai tre luppoli"? - I see, they’ve added three hopcones. On a zillion hectolitres brew... SHIG (2037), Aviano, Italy

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Bottle from Andora, shared with heavy. Poured a big thick white head that didn’t last long. Light eggy nose, extremely light flowery notes too. Empty taste, thin maltiness, bit dry and grainy. Hops? Hah, maybe some really light presence in the aftertaste. As are most of these lagers, drinkable but crap. Still not convinced that this is different from the old one, despite the new/old recipe talk and the name. Dorqui (1361), Brescia, Italy
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Sep 30, 2009 Bottled.
Yellow gaunt color, much simple one and with evanescent and little long-lasting head. A lot gaut and inconsistent scent; light notes of cereals and maize. Watery taste, even if pleasantly stinging, crisp and wondering bitter content at the end. LordCorkscrew (975), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy
| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | May 10, 2009 Ma per favore piantiamola con ste cagate per tirare la gente: tre luppoli? Uno sa di detersivo, uno di granaccio e uno di scope vecchie. Comprata al DìPerDì di via San Vincenzo (nella traversetta). heavy (852), Split, Croatia
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Oct 17, 2009 11/10 0.66 l bottle from a shop in Andora, Liguria. It poured golden body with medium sized head that went down soon. A bit winy aroma, also corn sourish. Flavor was also quite average and boring, watery with corn popping up. Some slight bitterness though, but if they wanted to put 3 hops, they shouldn’t put one flower of each in a whole big barrel, as Doggythedog said :) Very thin bodied without any prominent finish. </br>
Now, needed to have this side by side with the regular Splügen to see how different they are, but according to my ratings 2 yrs ago, that one was better.
