0.5L mug on tap at Rheinfelder Bierhaus in a Cardinal branded mug.
Appearance: Clear gold with a soapy white head - plenty of sheets of lacing.
Smell: Clean, smells like a lager, nothing special.
Taste: Crisp with a bit of apple and some noble hops at the finish.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation, but approaching fizzy. A little bit sticky on the teeth.
Overall / Drinkability: Middle of the road, nothing special, but it went well with the meal (Rindspfeffer and Spatzle). Wouldn't necessarily want another.

Review: 33cl bottle of Cardinal Blonde: 4.8% vol.
Available to buy in Coop, one of Switzerland’s largest discount stores.
Golden colour with a rather smallish white head on pour.
Some carbonation going on, but head dies and it all goes a bit flat in the end, Not a looker.
An aroma of light lager, light malts, the grains, corn, but not much else, rather faint and disappointing on the nose.
Tastes is ok, nice and smooth is my initial reaction, lovely crisp mouthfuls, wonderful coming cold from the fridge. Very nice, such a shame not much in the bottle.
I like it, very smooth, a nice light bodied lager that is so very easy to drink. But fuck all in the bottle! Lots of malts and barley, grains, all balanced very well, mild hops, no bitterness or offensive tastes.
Not a huge amount of flavours or tastes, but just so smooth.
Recommended. Just a light bodied lager that does the basics right, keeping you refreshed and happy.
Will try again, for sure. Very sessionable, and for a light lager it does the business.
