2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Nemo (100) - Fremantle, AUSTRALIA - JUN 29, 2004
Dark yellow, urine type colouring with a thick frothy white head. Very light carbonated, chemical type of aroma. Bitter, but unoffensive. Nothing special with this brew, except they go down well after a long hot day at work.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20 Hansen (4228) - Assentoft, DENMARK - JUN 25, 2004
I don’t get it? Why import something this crappy? We have enough bad beers, why start importing it and overprice it...oh! That’s the trick sell it and earn some money on this bad beer. Why buy it? Nice label on the neck and a special bottle.
This beer is yellow, medium head. Aroma and flavor is odd, wrong, and unpleasent. Don’t buy.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 presario (3977) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 13, 2004
Gold thin beverage. BIt of carbonation and a long lasting but slightly clupy merangue-like head. Bit of lacing. Thin but slighly bad-vegetable-like aroma. The first one tasted ghastly, but to be fair a second one seemed to go down smoother. When I picked it up at the liquor store, as a new beer to the area, I was given the usual "an Aussie came in and said that this was what Aussies actually drink back home". God help them. Has that bad vegetable and sweetness taste hinted at in the aroma followed by a long lasting bitterness that does not come from hops.
3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 WYSIWYG (20) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUN 13, 2004
I’m obviously going to be in a minority here, but I actually liked this one. (*shock* *horror*) Not as much as certain other beers, though, and what I liked most about it was that it was very drinkable (quaffable, I think someone else said). Noted of course that it’s a clear bottle, so drinking it locally will be very different to drinking it overseas where the skunk factor will have probably well and truly kicked in by the time it’s reached the consumer.
1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 turbothy (937) - Bonn, GERMANY - MAY 29, 2004
No aroma, very little taste. Like making love in a canoe. Only redeeming quality is that it is extremely quaffable, since it’s like drinking water.
0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20 fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - MAY 5, 2004
Blond color. Very light aroma, smelly. Bad taste, dry, bread; washing water. This is a very bad beer!
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Hildigöltur (5107) - København, DENMARK - APR 19, 2004
A rather pissy appearance. Nearly nothing in the aroma. Quite flavourless. Truly thin and boring.
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20 leungie (19) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - APR 16, 2004
flavourless beer, not much of anything really, has a decent mouthfeel, at least it doesn't leave you with a sore head...
