Splügen

Brewed by Carlsberg Italia
Style: Pale Lager
Lainate, Italy

pale lager with a rather grainy taste and some gras and earthy aromatic notes.

66 cL bottle. Pours pale clear yellow with a dense white head. Slight malty dry to sweet aroma. Flavour is slight sweet malty quickly turning into a dry hoppy bitterness with a minor fruity whiff. Ends dry bitter.

0.66 l bottle. Pours golden body with moderate head going away relatively fast. Aroma of citrus and some sour apple hops, not strong but quite unpleasant. Flavor not so bad, well balanced brew, quite full for a lager. A bit bitter and dry pilsener flavor. Watery textured with small carbonation turning into flat beer very soon. Finish not bad, but soapy. Quite average beer, but definitely much better than I expected, maybe I got a fresh bottle, but still don’t see the reason for so low ratings.

660ml bottle: poured a skunkified light yellow with a medium sized white head. Skunk aroma, probably worse than a Heineken. Light skunky flavor with some hops and malt poking through. Quite dry and watery in the finish. Avoid this green bottled beer.

bottle. Hoppy, slightly sour. Tastes somewhow strange and cheap. I liked the design of the bottle, but that’s it.

Bottle. Pale yellow with bubbly off white head. Aroma has hops/malts. Slight malt/hop balance. Some corn/hay notes. Rather fresh - dry bitter end. Watery palate. Like already said - typical Italian lager!

Can. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and hops.

Can, 4.5%. Golden colour, small white head. Sour maize flavour. Not unlike many other bad lagers.
