A German version of the parkbench lager, just like a normal helles only with extra nail polish remover. What it does have is a nice soft and grainy German pils malt base that fills the sides of the mouth well. But alcohol is the dominant flavour. Mild spicy bitterness. Nice raw ingredients, poorly fermented.

Purchased in Italy. In order to satisfy all markets, it bears on the label all the following descriptors: doppio malto chiara, strong lager, heller bock, doppel bock; they are quite confused.
It pours a light amber color, with big bubbles and almost no head. Light aroma, alcohol and fusels, plastic. Alcoholic and bitter brew, industrial, difficult to drink; pointless.

0.5L spring top bottle from Billa AG italy, 7°. Dark gold slightly amber, aroma is malt and alcohol. Taste is not exciting, there’s a feel of sweetness and a medium bitterness. Quite dense, thick, oily feel, a bit sticky, last part has butter aftertaste. You can get a good booze from this one, but the price is high and not so worth.

Effettivamente la birra non è molto equilibrata, sono birre fatte prevalentemente un pò alla buona, però c’è in giro di molto peggio.

Strong lager pesante e fortemente etilica, conserva poco dell’impronta tedesca, è una semplice lager straalcolica di qualità discount.
