bottle. i really, really have to stop buying beers just because i like the look of the bottle... and this is a prime example. doesn’t look too bad (amber, thin white rim) and the smells not off putting either(sweet caramel). but don’t drinl the stuff. its sweet, sickly, sticky and an awfull mess.

Oct 31, 2008 330 ml green bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Crystal clear deep golden colour, big to moderate white head. Fairly nice and moderately sweetish aroma, notes of hops and spices. The flavour has a noticeable malty sweetness but also fairly decent hops, with some spicy notes. Hints of caramel. Better than I feared.

Oct 23, 2008 Pours a copper colour with a fairly large white head. Aroma has some slight hps, apples, vanilla and a hint of toffee. Palate has apples, a little spice, malt. Hops and a touch of alcohol on the finish. Nice lager, not as good as I remember.

Oct 19, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a deep dark gold color. Aromas of fruit, malt, a touch of hops, and apple. Flavor big strong malt, hops, and a touch of menthol like quality. Strong malt and hop aftertaste. Extra points for the killer bottle, too bad it’s green.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottled(330ml). -Courtesy of and shared with Doggythedog (thanks!).
<br />Golden coloured, medium sized white head, lively carbonation. Cardboard, glue and touch of alcohol in the nose. Moderate malty, light butterscotch and some alcoholic taste with notes of yeast and touch of vanilla in the finish. Unbalanced beer from interesting bottle.

Oct 17, 2008 Bottle courtesy of a friend who brought it from Spain (thanks Ivana!), shared with ogivlado<br /> Poured a n odd ochre-gold colour, like a veeery light brown. Small fluffy white head. The nose is damn faint... just some maltiness with very light dust. The taste started off with a burst of alcohol, and I thought that this would end up in the ones but then it settled down and went into hiding, showing some sweet maltiness, weak yeastiness and some light light chewy white grape like hop and dust. The taste isn’t all that full, but that and the disappearance of alcohol helped the drinkability a lot. All in all, odd, but not the worst thing you can get.
