Soproni from Brau Union Hungária Sörgyárak / Soprony Brewery
Rating: C+
Sampled in the Budapest airport after missing my flight and cooling my heels to wait for the next one...
Appearance: Very golden in color, quite clear. One-finger white head, with decent retention and some lacing.
Smell: Flinty mineral character and adjuncty corn. Little in the way of hops in the nose.
Taste: On the whole, fairly light. Balanced bitterness, but slightly astringent aftertaste. Slightly spicy, continental hops. Mild bread note.
Mouthfeel: Quite creamy mouthfeel for the style, surprisingly so. Makes me wonder whether they might be using beer gas for this lager, instead of CO2, or if it's just a characteristic of the beer.
Drinkability: Decent for the style, but not very distinctive.
