Mr.Cream	2.3 Ludger's Classic Tuesday, January 23, 2024
Travlr	2.1 Ludger's Classic Bottle from a SPAR in Ljubljana. Clear golden yellow color, white coca cola head. Aroma of lightly toasted cereal. Taste is grainy and lightly sweet, light body.Not much here Monday, December 11, 2023
dragnet101	2.9 SPAR Original Dry Cider Clear gold with plenty of fizz. Has a green apple juice and skin aroma although a little subdued. Taste starts quite sweet with a pleasant if watered down apple juice with a semi dry finish and light tang. Easy drinking mouthfeel and not syrupy like some. Not bad for a macro cider, certainly better than Strongbow and cheaper to boot. Saturday, November 11, 2023

mkcmagico	1 Ludger's Classic 0,25 bottle from Spar. Elég igénytelen kis üvegben csavaros kupak alatt egy halván sárga színű söröcske, amin viszont meglepően normális hab volt. "Illata" kukoricás, kicsit dohos, furcsa, nem jó. Hordó van a címkén, és tényleg mintha ilyen állott hordó illata lenne. Szénsav ehhez a kategóriához nagyon kevés, és bizony eléggé - vagy nagyon - vizes a korty is. Talán a melegben a víznél jobb, mivel valamennyi keserűség van benne, jobban oltja a szomjat, és a habja is megmaradt. Ennél sokkal több jót nem tudtam róla elmondani. AMúgy édeskés, kissé büdös, állott hatású, ízhibás sör volt :( Thursday, August 3, 2023
Hrabren	1.4 Ludger's Classic 0.25 l bottle, thanks to Ogi. Shared with Marko. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is plastic, cooked vegetables, grain, perfumy floral. Thin, bland. Plastic flavour, grainy notes. Hard to drink. Dry finish. Disgusting. Tuesday, July 4, 2023
Marko	2.1 Ludger's Classic 0.25l bottle from some Spar, thx Ogi for bringing it to Hrabren and me. Clear golden body, white head - gone quickly. Weird adjuncty aroma, sweetish, creamy, corny, alcohol. Odd taste, creamy and sweet, light carbonation bite, weird nutty touch, lightly herbal. Just... unusual rather than flat out terrible taste-wise. Tuesday, July 4, 2023
ogivlado	2.2 Ludger's Classic Bottled 250ml. -from Spar Brežice. Clear golden coloured, medium sized white head, grainy corny nose. Sweet malty, grainy, corn and sweet water with short dryish finish. Saturday, June 24, 2023

AleLees28	2.3 Ludger's Mexiqana Saturday, April 29, 2023
Kita	1.6 Ludger's Mexiqana Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma is grassy, floral and grainy with tequila note. Pours clear brown amber color without any head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light to medium sweet malty with faint fruitiness and tequila trace without any bitterness. Light body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Beerless attempt… Thursday, March 23, 2023

Hrc_Cro	2.8 Ludger's Mexiqana 0.33l transparent bottle. Drank from the bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma of corn and malt. Taste is slightly bitter, but less corny than expected. Pretty good thirst quencher. Tuesday, August 9, 2022
mkcmagico	1.4 Ludger's Mexiqana 0,33 bottle. Usual uncolored corn-light beer bottle. When filled, its head was larger than expected, otherwise it was the color of a pale lager, which seemed quite watery. Sweet, syrupy, corny, malty aroma. The taste is not very memorable.. in fact... It is light, watery, bodyless, nauseating to me, with tasteless corn sweetness in the background. There are few real beer notes. The bitterness is also medicinal, chemical rather than hoppy. Drink it if you like it :) But the foam was nice. *** Szokásos színezetlen kukoricás-light sörös üveg. Kitöltve a vártnál nagyobb volt a habja, egyébként testetlen, elég vizesnek tűnő sima lager színe volt. Édes, szirupos, kukoricás, malátás illat. Íze nem túl emlékezetes.. sőt... Könnyű, vizes, testetlen, számomra émelyítő, ízhibás kukoricás édességgel a háttérben. Kevés igazi sörös jegy érződik. A keserűség is inkább gyógyszeres, vegyszeres, mintsem komlós. Igya az, aki az ilyet szereti :) A habja viszont valóban szép volt. Thursday, August 4, 2022
nephirem	2.3 Ludger's Mexiqana Bottle, 0.33l. Pale golden pour, huge soapy white head, short lasting. Minimal broken lacing on the glass. Average lager nose, sweet and malty, corn and grains in the background. Light body, average carbonation. Watery mouthfeel and texture, lightweight. Bittersweet taste. Basic aroma of malt, corn, grass. Quite bland and generic but nothing really offensive about it. Move along, nothing to see here. Wednesday, July 27, 2022
Marko	2.1 Ludger's Mexiqana Bottled, thx Ogivlado! Golden, clear body, white head. Corn, honey in the aroma. Empty, dry taste, corny, cardboardy, dull but generally harmless. Wednesday, June 29, 2022
Hrabren	2.2 Ludger's Mexiqana 0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi who bought it in Spar. Shared with Marko. Clear golden. Small off-white head. Corn aroma. Wet paper or cardboard. Corn flakes.

valcsa	2.8 Ludger's Mexiqana Friday, May 6, 2022
ManVsBeer	2.4 SPAR Original Dry Cider Can from Spar Service Station, Littleborough. Glowing Golden with a small carbonation. About as bland tasting as it gets, only a modicum of apple to be found. Thursday, April 28, 2022
kolemkoukolem	2.2 SPAR Premium Reserve Cider # 2803; 3/2022. Aroma of apples and honey, flowers. Brilliant gold body. Apple juicy, crispy, slightly tart, crispy. Below average cider. 0,5 l, bottle, supermarket, Lincoln (Lincolnshire, England). Friday, March 18, 2022

dragnet101	2.8 SPAR Pear Cider Pale clear straw colour, brief fizz. Aroma suffers the same fate as their apple cider in being a little over sweetened and syrupy but their is more fruitiness to this one. This flows through to the taste in being a touch artificial and syrup noted but their is a nice pear fruity tang to it albeit a bit sugary. Mouthfeel is a little syrupy but a spritzy carbonation works well with this limited Perry, some dryness to offset the sweetness. Much better than their apple cider. Friday, October 29, 2021
dragnet101	2.2 SPAR Apple Cider Bottle from Spar. Pours a clear gold with brief fizz. Aroma of syrupy apple concentrate although some apple skin notes come through. Taste is the same, very artificial and sweet, reasonable crispness but then the mouthfeel is one of lingering syrup. Not good at all. Wednesday, October 27, 2021
georgehwilliams	2.6 SPAR Pear Cider Sunday, August 22, 2021
