ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Jun 7, 2009 Pours a hazy gold with a few floaters. Aroma of alcohol, caramel malts. Taste of honey, butterscotch, alcohol. Not enough balance for me on this one. k MmmcKay (269), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA Jun 7, 2009 Dark honey yellow. Hazy with some sedimentary particles floating around. Not much head whatsoever. Malty. Alcohol is pretty well balanced. Not much burn here. Creamy butterscotch palette. Tastes like the top of a creme brulee. JohnnyJ (1282), Carlsbad, California, USA May 20, 2009 Bright gold color, with fizzy whute head. Smells like macro brew and rubbing alcohol. Mostly tastes like cheap grain, rice, alcohol, maybe a very slight hint of fruit. This stuff is pure shit. zakkbironia (82), Athens, Greece May 17, 2009 Lacks good taste, but it’s impossible to ask for good taste in a beer with 13% alcohol percentage. If you ask me this one is pretty good and I believe it couldn’t be better. Truly nice. GG (1609), NorCal, California, USA May 8, 2009 There is a beer for everyone. This, I am pretty sure of. This particular beer, is just not for me. What an absolutely horrible waste of a bottle, let alone the ingredient it took to make this "beer". This was nothing more that rubbing alcohol flavored with malt. I’m sure this beer would do great in removing spray paint from walls, removing the bumper stickers saying W 04 off of conservatives cars, and cleaning a wound after falling off a cliff from 40 feet. But to drink this and say it’s enjoyable is just too hard to comprehend.
The beer pours out medium amber color, slightly opaque with a scant off-white scummy head. Aroma is rubbing alcohol and raisins, a bit of yeast and just a whiff of something that resembled apple pie spices. That’s where anything worthwhile ends. The flavor is full of alcohol spikes, reminding me of drinking rubbing alcohol or some kind of mouthwash used in the Middle Ages. Mouthfeel was hot and burning, like taking a shot of cheap whiskey. The alcohol just kills any sort of flavor of the beer, and leaves your mouth gasping for air.
I have a pretty open mind about beers. This is just not for me. It’s not a quencher, it’s not a sipper. It’s a crapper. Ugh. thewolf (5621), Kolding, Denmark May 2, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Ambrosetti, Berlin. Pours a nice golden colour with a fine, large, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has green apples, lots of alcohol, some caramel and some bamboo-like quality? Low carbonation, fat and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is very alcoholic, some grainy and bready sweetness and not much bitterness. Completely unbalanced. yobdoog (1417), Woodridge NY, New York, USA May 1, 2009 Dark orange brown with a small head. Aroma is strong alcohol and rice. Taste is sweet and ricey with a lot of burning alcohol, not hidden at all. Tastes like burning, terrible. Drain Pour. osu97gp (168), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet alcohol. Flavor starts sweet then finishes with all alcohol. Interesting beer, but not in a good way.
