At an mitra slijterij in purmerend, can 330 ml, golden medium head, some grain and hops, most boring, very much like a cheap supermarkt lager.

Pours golden blonde. Light malt flavor with hints of grass and bread. There is a nice refreshing bite but there’s not much to it.

Smak rund och len, något vattnig, med inslag av hö och ljust rostbröd - innan det rostas. Doftar trä och örter, dock väldigt svagt. En väldigt ordinär lager.

Can 33cl. Blonde beer with white head medium persistent. Hoppy aroma. Bitter taste and average body. Lively carbonation and bitter final. The name of 1516 of this beer wants to tell us that has been brewed according Reinheitsgebot Law, but unfortunately this beer is not the same as other German beer according this Law.

Can. Golden big bubbles collapsing head. Light malt aroma. Grainy malt base, light rusty bitterhop to balance. Mealy mouthfeel. Grassy and grainy aftertaste. Drinkable, but meh.

bottle. clear light copper. semi sweet light body; filmy and oily with light nutrisweet flavor. pale, twangy. low bitterness.

Golden color, medium to low head. Not much aroma. Doesn’t taste much, some bitterness maybe. Drinkable when the weather’s hot.

Can from Eroski Supermarket, Logrono, La Rioja, Northern Spain 02.07.11 consumed outside Frank at Camping Barenas, nr Santo de la Calzederas, La Rioja, Spain 02.07.11 Pours gold with a white head, metallic edge noted straight away, maltiness also picked up. Bit dry at the end with a light bitterness. This just about did the job but that is one of the few positives that I could take from this beer. A5 A4 T6 P2 Ov11 2.8

Un mal ejemplo en España de lo que debería ser una cerveza pura al estilo alemán. La “hermana mayor” de la San Miguel… esta cerveza, bajo mi opinión, se queda por el camino. La intención es buena pero el resultado nefasto.
