2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
No 460
Rated: 15.07.2008
Can, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours pale golden to yellowish, perfectly clear in body texture, highly carbonated body. Head is rocky, snowy white with quite decent lacing, unstable, initially medium in size and slowly decreasing to small.
Aroma: Nice balance between some fresh herbal hops and very grainy sweet juicy ripe malt. All in all aroma is very nice and inviting to drinking, soft, clean and not offensive in any way especially thanks to no alcoholic accents playing any dominating role in such a 7.0% abv beer.
Flavour: Surprisingly worser than I expected and I was expecting something like aroma could suggest. To be honest it shocked me with its very wattery mouthfeel. The alcohol content is perfectly hidden and the beertastes so light as a refreshing light Pale Lager for a hot day. Some gentle notes of watered down grains, almost non - existant hoppyness. I wonder what is the extract of that beer and in a what way the alcohol is hidden here. Finish duration is short.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is average, finish feel is flat and rather neutral.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Can, 7.0%. Metallic aroma, slightly alcoholic and slightly malty. Almost clear golden colour. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour is not as alcoholic as expected. Hint of spicy aroma hops, but also distinctly rough flavour hops. Neither mouthfeel nor flavour reveals the ABV.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Canned. A golden coloured lager with no head. The aroma is fairly flowery hoppy, but with industrial sweet alcohol. Pretty lack lustre in the taste. Obvious alcohol but no real body. A touch grassy. Poor really.
