Hard to drink, terribly tasting, but very strong. Could have been worse. This one brand isnt a perticularly enjoyable beer. Its brewed for the reason of getting loaded, and it also strikes pretty strange, almost a tequila level burst that hits you. This is based on an ancient brew from Sweden, a solder beer. Back then made for the brave troops that kept the russians out of europe or other enemies at chess mate. Arboga, the town, is an old place where the army one to many times passed trough. And the beer is named by that smaller city and the old and modern term "it will come afterwards like arboga beer" means also that it will strike you afterwards quite sharp. This is certanly nothing to enjoy drinking, only a choice to make if you wanna get loaded like hell. Undrinkable to beer enthusiasts

Clear golden with a small dissipating white head. Grainy sweet malt aroma, suprisingly devoid of alcohol. The flavour shows the true abv of this one though... sweet, almost vodka like alcohol, thankfully not too winey. There is also a little caramel in there. The finish is quite awful, like a cheap nasty gin. Interesting and nowhere near as awful as it could have been.

Thin hite head on te golden body. Not bad, strong but no obvious alcohol taste, has hints of fruits, malty staste. bit sweet. Not my regular choice, but worth the experience. Well balanced.

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, sweet. Flavour is fruit, malt, apple, alcohol.

Can. (10.3% ABV) Clear, pale golden with a white head. Malty and sweet nose and flavor, richer than the weaker versions of this beer. Some notes of stock as well in the flavor, and some alcohol. Medium body. Never understood the meaning of this kind of beer. (060929)

Last HWOH. Oh man this stuff is pretty freakin bad. Pours a light golden wiht an ok white head which dissipates quickly. Aroma is pure DMS, corn, steamed cabbage, metallic, and harsh. More DMS in the flavor- creamed corn and more vegetable-crappiness. Harsh metallic and astringent finish.

There’s not much to say about this. It looks ok but that’s it. Utterly disgusting, the worst beer I’ve had so far...

Oh my god......this is probably the worst beer I have ever tasted.. Sink......here I come .

Canned: Golden coloured. -clear. Small white head. Sweet and fruity nose. Some metalllic notes. Flavour full of alcohol and overly sweet fruits. Dry and alcoholdense end. A bit too much.

(Can 50 cl) Fully golden with a very small head. Extremely full-bodied, you almost have to chew your way through this. Sticky sweetness and an overwhelming bitterness. You really can feel the alcohol, but as a beer considered this for sure ain’t no pleasure. 270202
