Switzerland is famous for their cheese, chocolate and watches. But I have never heard of a Swiss beer, at least ot until a friend of mine brought me this one from Switzerland. Luckily, he travells there every year, so I’m already looking forward to tasting some new Swiss beer samples.

This beer is really nothing you haven’t seen before with some other Euro lagers. The body has a clear golden color and is topped with a white head. Although the head is initially very decent, it settles down pretty fast. The smell is also characteristic of a lager – a slightly malty and hoppy aroma, but otherwise pretty much a neutral smell. The taste follows the aroma – a sweet malty beginning finishes with a slightly bitter aftertaste. The slightly watery taste and a moderate carbonation make it a refreshing beer, but nothing special taste-wise.
