(Bottled, 0.46l, sampled 3 weeks before BBE date) Clear, paleish golden with a smallish, quickly and completely fading, lemonadey head. Quite dull, slightly cardboardy aroma with wet dog, some vegetably malt and practically no hops. Grainy, very cardboardy-malty flavor with some corn and vegetables. Light-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Pretty bad. Either this really doesn’t last long in the clear bottle, or else it’s just plain bad from the beginning...

Bottle 460 ml, bottled 07/2006. Yellow color, no head. Skunky aroma, some hints of diacetyl too. Starts a bit fruity malty, then strong flavor of cardboard. This neer is real awful. Storing it in clear bottle does not help. Either being candle shaped ...

Bottled. Clear golden in colour. It has a sweet hoppy and skunky aroma. There is a vegetable feel to it. Th flavour is swet and skunky / hoppy. It’s possible that it’s a mix of corn and vegetables. Kinda strange really.

Bottled. Yellow colour, minor white head. Skunky nose and harsh hops. Flavour is salty, hoppy and very harsh. I wonder what toxic waste is used in this, and who it is made for... Only positive thing is the galliano-formed bottle.
