09-08-17 500 ml can. dark golden colour. big white head. fresh fruity taste. pleasant to drink.

I actually quite like this. Yes it’s sweet, but for this kind of cheap beer there’s a decent hop nose, albeit verging on the slightly tinny. Compared to the standard 8.6 blond, it’s got an actual profile. It’s aiming to be the flavoursome brother of the cheap mass produced dutch beer and given those aims, I think it succeeds magnificently. Just don’t expect subtlety or refinement.

Export bottle of 250ml found in Sarajevo. Pours nicely rich with welcoming aroma of sharp hops and malts. This is a preofessional beer with the right boxes checked. But it is not my style ... Let’s us have a style that is a strong beer but not just because of alc. A diversity of intents about what we can present as strong lagers. Some for the holidays, some to taste better with loads of additional ingredients. They all fall apart somehow, though you can see that Bavaria 8.6 Gold is a good beer. But id does not do anything new or passionately. Still lovely but wish it did something the surprised even one of us.

Canned (thanks TBone). Ambery golden colour with small white head. Aroma is fruits, alcohol, some nectar and malts. Flavour is fruits, sweet malts,alcohol and some mild nectary and bittery notes as well. Quite wellbalanced beers.

clear golden, smooth large offwhite head. Nice hoppy exotic fruity aroma, malty base. flavor is most of all strange. exotic fruity, ripe yellow fruity, sugary or honey sweet base instead of alts, alc,metal and hops bitterness in the end. So uch honey, exotic fruits and ripe yellow fruits that it gets cloying. really strange beer. Will probably be best if served very cold.

50cl can. Amber with off-white head, medium persistence. Aroma is slightly toasted malts, caramel, sweet. Flavour is sweet, caramel, brown sugar with some chemical hints and with a sweet medium long final. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium high.

Can @ home. Golden yellow colour with a white head. Smells malty, grainy, pilsener and sweet. Tastes very sweet, very malty. Thin to medium body, nice carbo.

Can 50cl. A yellow beer with medium carbonation. Not bad beer for this kind of product, sweet and malty, good finish, some spicy notes. Better than expected.

canned; from Amstein - clear and bright golden-bronze colour with a fair white head; nice lace; very fruity nose (litchies and apples), sweet and slightly sticky, medium-bodied, juicy palate; long fruity finish with residual sugars and a hint of warming alcohol

Can. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with ntoes of malt, caramel, and very sweet nutty notes, leading to a dry finish. Thanks to me :-)
