Splügen

Brewed by Carlsberg Italia
Style: Pale Lager
Lainate, Italy

Can. Typical Italian pale lager, with a very weak aroma, taste and coloration. Nothing more to say...

Can. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma is barnyard malt. Taste is sweet and malty.

Can. Pale yellow colour with rapidly dissapering white head. Very weak maltiness and hops in both aroma and flavor. Short and slightly metallic finish.

Can. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Pale yellow colour. Bready ugly aroma and flavor. Harsh bitter short finish. Very watery palate.

Can. Pale yellow colour with a small mostly diminishing white head. Weak aroma and taste of malts and hops. Boring. Do they really drink this in italy?

Clear pale yellow color with small head. Pale lager on the bad site with a heavy metallic aftertaste.

(Sample #2 [bottled] at the first Biertest-Online Gathering, Düsseldorf, 29.12.06) Clear, pale golden colour with a short frothy white head. Slack and sweet malty, corny nose. Light-sweet, metallic flavour, slim bodied but has a crispy carbonation. Malty, corny taste, typical pale lager character; very light herbal notes towards the slim finish.

Green bottle from Italy to Japan = Skunk! Yikes, smells like my wetsuit after a 2-hour dive. Has the typical pale gold color one expects from a pale lager. Flavor is corny, slightly sweet with at least some bitterness at the end. Reminds me of the S.E. Asian lagers, bland, mediocre at best.
