1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled, 500ml from East European Supermarket, High St. Banbury. Gold with short white head. Sharpish, grainy, corn like beer with a slightly odd boiled veg note, either that or the Christmas sprouts are repeating. Some sweetness, but basically this is not too good.

3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours clear gold with a very tall, slightly off white head..good lacing.
Nice, light straw aroma...
Taste is a light grain with a slight bitter..well balanced malt.
Watery and slightly weak, but a decent all-around taste.
Not bad at all.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Great beer for a lager (I’m not usually a fan). Luksus has a great smell but in my opinion a little too weak. For such a nice smell they should show it off more. Taste is great and palette is perfectly neutral as a lager should be.
