Tuborg Fiçi is a Turkish pilsner and I just had to try it when I spotted the unusual shaped bottle in Home Bargains. The bargain price of £1.29 was another attraction, of course.
It's a deep golden beer with a frothy, very rapidly disappearing cream coloured head and it has a traditional continental beer smell of hops and malt.
I was surprised how malty it tastes as I would normally expect a darker body to correspond to this amount of malt. I'm not complaining at all, I love a malty beer! There are also notes of tangy hops, sweet caramel and biscuit. The body is quite thin but it's not watery as the soft, low carbonation gives it a tingly mouthfeel.
It's a lovely malty, refreshing beer. It would be perfect to quench your thirst on a hot day so I would definitely be seeking it out if I ever went back to Turkey. For now, I'll keep an eye out in Home Bargains and hopefully, Ale Be Seeing You again!
