Bottle at Beer O’clock, Bucharest, March 2013. Clear golden with white head. Hops, orange juice and some malt in the nose, soft, malty bitterness in the mouth. Light-to-medium body, surprisingly soft fizz. Enjoyable.

50cl bottle, pale yellow color, minimal white head, malt and grass aroma, moderate bitter flavor, light to medium body, finish with hops aftertaste (ho scritto la descrizione senza internet dietro ed e’ praticamente la traduzione in "inglese" del rate precedente in italiano)

Aroma maltato (miele) e un legegro erbaceo aromatico dato dai luppoli. Bionda trasparente con poca schiuma. Corpo esile, beverino con un attacco dolce e una leggera luppolatura finale. Progettatta per essere bevuta. Buona.

UPDATED: MAY 23, 2013 Pours clear golden with decent, mid-lived head. The nose is flowerily grainy. It has nice malty, caramel-like sweetness, combined with rye bread crust with a hint of roastiness and subtle but noticeable bitterness from the hops. The medium-long finish has noticeably more hoppiness than the mid-palate as expected, which goes very well with its semisweet character. The mouthfeel is nice and smooth. Pretty damn decent for a lager.

500ml bottle @Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo. Hay, some sweet and subtle sour aromas. Pours ligjt gold, a bit hazy, with average white head, vanishing, poor lacing. Light bodied, crispy texture, carbonation is high. Taste is crispy, malty, some sweet hints. More or less balanced. Botella de 500ml @Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo. Aromas de heno, dulces y sútiles toques ácidos. Color dorado pálido, un poco turbia, con corona blanca, de rápida desaparición, poco encaje. Cuerpo ligero, alta carbonatación, textura crujiente. Sabores maltosos, algo dulces. Más o menos euilibrada.

Golden colour with two fingers of white head. It looks perfect. Malty aroma, some bread and little bit hoppy. Light body and medium carbonation. Malty aroma and light bitter finish. Like a helles have to be!
