Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of MiP. Comes as: "Cap dOna Rossa". Pours a cloudy and opaque golden with tiny floating impurities and a small rough white head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Medium body, a little sweet fruit with a vague underlying tartness and a whiff of yeast. No real bitterness. 141109

Bottle, bought @ Cellar Vin, Barcelona.
Pours hazy yellow-golden with a nice, medium, creamy, white head. Aroma is sweet and grainy, light corn and very limited yeast. Highish carbonation, okay thinish mouthfeel. Flavour is very sweet, lots of brewing cereal and maize. A touch of citric bitterness. No complexity, just sweetness.

UPDATED: JAN 14, 2010 Small white head. Hazy yellow body. Light malty caramelly apple aroma. Dry-sweetish perfumy mealy taste with fruity grassy spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Dryish grassy chalky mealy aftertaste. Imperfect, to say the least. (0.75l bottle from gr0ve. Rated once as "Cap d’Ona Rossa", too.)

Bottled, generously shared by GrOve. Light, refreshing. Peaches, lemon, rather sweet finish.

Bottle, kindly shared by GrOve. A mediumsizes blond head upon an unclear, straw colored body. Bready, light sweet malt aroma with lemony notes. Bready malts in the flavor as well. Faint fruitiness and some bitter tones. Fizzy, quite crisp in the mouth. Does not stand out, quite refreshing though.

Bottle. Hazy light amber colour with a nice creamy head. Rich malty aroma and taste with notes of fruits and caramel.
