Bottled. Pale yellowish golden colour with mediumsized white creamy/fluffy head. Aroma is grassy, grainy and hayish with some mild rubbery notes. Flavour is the same with a harsh bitterness coming in the finish. Aftertaste is grainy and hayish.

Bottle 0.33 l. Bought in Spain. Golden yellow colour with small white head. More bitter, more malt than usual for Spanish beers.

aroma started out sour, but fast evolved into a spicy flavor, which was intersting. flavor might well be a tiny bit more full than san miguel extra, but it is not at all as good as the reborn san miguel xv. i get a little sweet notes somewhere that are nice. they go away and in comes a rather nice bitterness.

Bottle, thx to Tarjei. Pours a pale golden body with a minimal white head. Quite fruity on the nose, with yellow apples and a touch of tropical fruits. Some grains and a little lemon too. Malty flavor with yellow apples and some hoppy bitterness. Thin body. Slightly papery and cellar-like in the finish, due to it soon reacing BB-date? There’s also some fruits and a decent bitterness in the finish. A really boring beer, but not foul. (080720)

courtesy of Antonio Rey Ruiz - clear and bright golden colour under a foamy and fast collapsing white foam; corny and slightly herbal nose; moderate malt body with a light and slightly harsh bitterness; quite dry herbal finish - acceptable
