(Not Viru Premium- cheers to SaintMatty for the tip-off)...The one in the funny-shaped bottle? It actually says ’A Le Coq’ on the neck, but I’m assuming this is the same beer. Spritzy, pissy gold heaped with shaving foam. Grass, metal and slight lemon/pine aroma. Flavour watery grass and cornflake. Adjuncty, sweet, slightly offensive global lager.

Jun 19, 2008 Nice clean golden with a nice creamy white cap. Sulphury, cooked veggies, sweet and grainy. Diacetyl. Weak body. Metallic, lot of diacetyl, no bitterness.

Jun 8, 2008 Bottled 30cl. Nice bottle shape. Sulphury nose. Metallic, grainy with a malt liquor-like component. Grainy, sweet, wheaty and malty taste. An unpleasant soapy component and a very faint hop presence. Medium bodied. Metallic with a strong alcohol presence. Peanuts, lime and apricot showing up. Low bitterness. A lingering burnt plastic component accompanied by marshmallows. Grassy finish with a hint of lime.
