This is one great beer to get you right ripped. I highly recommend this brew if you need a little extra courage to yell at a teenage drive-through attendant at McDonalds at 3 in the morning. "Go get the manager, see if I care!" Good times. I enjoy a bitter malt liquor like this one from time to time as it complements my sweet demeanor.

Gold, fast fading white head. No aroma. Light green apple taste, alcohol presence not really noticeable

Bottle, 7.3%. BB 2003, 5 years ago. Almost clear golden colour. Small white head. Slightly peppery aroma. The flavour is quite peppery, some oxidation, but not too bad. Probably no worse than a fresh one.

Bottle. Clear light to medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, light hoppy, perfume, light alcohol. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (260108)

can: Used to drink this frequently to start a session a few years back. A few cans of this stuff & you are ready. For a strong lager, it isn’t that bad, at least it is drinkable. Having a can of this again reminds me how crappy so much of the beer is now a days. I might actually down this before a Lakeport product to be honest. This is all about function, not quality. Ah the good old days . . .

This one will make you cough your guts up!.... sweet harsh, yuck juice..... can say it gets any better then this...

Je ne l’ai pas procuré et tant mieux. Ça goût fort et fade. La bière de BS à la mode!

Sweet, lightly fruity aroma with light touches of alcohol. Clear dark golden body with low white head that recedes to ring. Herbal hops with light bitterness and fair alcohol in the corn-like, cabbage flavour. Light body with alcoholic astringency and fair carbonation. Not great, but better than the regular Giraf and curiously, this one seems less boozy. Bottle. Entered from notes.

Rokn cool can. Poured a yellow-ochre with a few bubbles struggling to coalesce into some semblance of head. Not a lot or flavour or aroma, just a faint malt and noticeable alcohol. Better to drink this straight from the can cuz the package is the best part.

Denmarks slightly better bullmax. Not so good malt liquor with overwhelming alcohol.
