500 ml can. Name is stated as Extra Strong and with smaller letters that is especially made for the dutch supermarkets chain C1000, so I guess is brewed by Bavaria Brouwerij , although the name of the brewer is not on the can.  Deep golden yellow colour, with a two finger froathy head, quite good retention, light lacing around the glass.  No smell whatsoever,or of beer at least, very faint smell of old bread. Quite surprised here, I was expecting at least to smell the high ABV.  Taste is much better, bitter enough, and the alcohol is not so traceable.  Thick on the palate, with average carbonation and a bit oily.  This one cost me 80 cents and I guess if you want to get drunk fast and cheap, is a good choice.

50cl can. good white head, Clear golden pour. ok beer, Not great,

50 cl. can @ de Lek, Culemborg, gift from my parents. Drank straight from the can as is fitting for this type of beer. Presumably a old yeloow with a white head. Grainy, sugary sweet aroma. Taste is cloyingly sweet and metallic. Really sub standard alcoholics beer.

Good size head. clear yellow/golden colour. no visible carbo. has a fresh sweet smell, with just as sweet a taste. Overall: isnt that good and taste is not strong enough for its alcohol percentage. would not buy again. drank at the den of evil aka benzai’s lair.

50cl can @ home shared with Thompson. Clear golden color, small off-white head. Smell only lightly some malts, hint of sweetness. Taste malts, sweet, lightly wort, lightly alcohol. Low to medium body, low to medium carbo.

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

Can. Small head. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are dominated by alcohol, but also some malt and hops. Not very good balanced. Drain pour.

Can.Pours golden with a small white.Aroma of fruitiness, malt and yellow apples.Flavor is sweet and grassy with some warmth.Medium body, average carbonation.Useless beer.
