Bottle, guess I never rated it. Pours light golden yellow with a rocky white head. Aroma sweet, some hay and grassiness, crisp and light, a bit bland. Flavor has a bit more to offer, some hop character, sweet and grassy, hay, and soft bready, though a bit stale bready. Finishes clean and crisp. Light to light medium body and a sharp carbonation. Refreshing but yeah, so so

Standard golden pilsener color. Smell a little sweet for a pilsener. Taste sweet and light bitter. Decent carbo, low to medium body.

Es mi cerveza favorita dentro de las que se pueden encontrar en la heladera del supermercado, Tiene todo lo necesario en su justa medida.

Bottle(s) at the most authentic italian restaurant in the COE. They need a better beer selection, however. They were out of Peroni, and offered me this "thing of beauty." Good opportunity for another tick, but that was all. Reminded me of Heineken, which I also don’t like. Not smooth enough and not tasty. Of course lagers aren’t close to my go-to brew style, but still, I’ve had much better or at least less offensive. I suppose I could have gotten an older bottle as I didn’t get as much of a big frothy head as they show on the commercials. Or they’re just liars. I expected better, and was let down. This is not class.

Looks like soapy piss, tastes like water with something slightly off, and feels lighter than air to the palate. Not my thing.

On tap at Faccia Luna. Clear gold with thin white head. No aroma. Flavor is caramel and cereal grains. Solid for a pale lager.

Tap@Bayauex. Gold haze with a small head. Faint malty aromas. Some sweet-bitterness. Good carbonation. In the better end of commercial beers.

It looks pretty safe in the glass though the head looks a little sticky and soapy. The aroma is mainly of a metallic hop character with a twist of lemon. It’s sorta dry in vaguely unpleasant kombucha way. Overrated but not too much.
