Thin scent. The taste is thin too. With a decent good thing but thin aftertaste. Watery and boring beer is.

Bottle, 330 ml, at home. Poured into a lager glass. ABV 5% 0.97€ Golden yellow colour on the body, with minimal activity in it. Two figers of snow white head, soapy in texture, average retention and light lacing left on the glass. Aroma of sweet malts, with some dirty hay coming from the back. Taste is sweet as expected with lots of malts. Hay and stale bread flavours. Medium thin body, carbonation slighty above what you would say average. Slighty dry on the palate. Overall, is not that bad, and if you are tired from your market’s available everyday beers, this could provide a nice drinking through the day, provided the weather is nice and hot.

Finally getting rid of this tick. Had the chance to get it tens of times, always skipped it. Faced with an unimpressive choice, I finally gave in and went for it. Yellow-golden body with a small white head. Malty nose, not much to it, highly unimpressive. The taste starts out messy, lemon, metal, dust, some light hoppy bitterness, grainy maltiness, soft yet... dunno. At first i didn’t like it, but then it kinda grew on me, it’s quite hoppy for a macro lager. And one should respect that.

Biscuit, malts, some german hops. Not too bad, pretty short body. Smooth hop finish, but not too strong. Crisp finish, ideal for lager.

66cl bottle from el corte ingles, lisbon. Golden with thin white head. Carbonation is quite present but is medium. Bitterness and dryness is medium. Interesting light hop aroma.

Can - fair size foamy head, clear light straw color, sweet light malty aroma and flavor, mild hops which do add a slightly dry finish

Just a tad better than mainstream slosh. Typical German lager: sterile, soul-less, muted, corny. As the kids say, fail.

12oz bottle. Pours a light yellow color with small fizzy white head. Aromas of light malt and some corn. Flavor is the same.

Pours pale yellow golden with a thick, bubbly head which is short lived. Aroma is caramel, malt, bread, yeast, hops and grass. Flavour is quite metallic with a very long bitter after taste. Moderate carbonation.
