Is this any different from the original? Or let me say it like this: if the original is also this watery, this empty and this carbonated, then it is a shame.
Still, it is better than most Hungarian beers like Borsodi, Dreher or Kőbányai, roughly on the same level as our Hungarian Löwenbrau. Is there no quality control by Spaten or are they so careless to market something like this in another country - what would the Germans say if they were forced to drink this instead of their own?
Wonder what motivates people to drink such a "bottomless", shallow beer...

It is Spaten,but this one is made not in Germany,but in Hungary. I think that this beer you could only found in Borsodi brewery. Maybe is similar as Spaten pils or Spaten Lager,but as i know it is unique product of Borsodi,licensed by Spaten brewery (Both brewery's are owned by InBev)

A-Above average,few seconds white foam,medium carbonation but also bubbles lasts for minute-two.Pale color.

S-Usual for lagers,nothing special,some adjunct.

T/M-Bitterness is high,so it is pilsner,but there is some bad mouthfeel. Also bad aftertaste.

O-Didn't drink original Spaten,but i am sure it is much better.
