COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Like all Cobra beers, Cobra Bite is brewed using the finest possible ingredients – in this case a unique blend of barley malt and yeast with rice and hops making them extra smooth and highly drinkable. After brewing, 100% natural fruit extracts are added to the beer before filtering. Cobra Bite is breaking new ground in the beer industry and establishing a completely new category of ‘fruit-flavoured premium lagers’. These are the only lagers in the UK market with 100% natural fruit extracts added after brewing, making them less challenging than traditional Belgian fruit beers and a refreshing and highly drinkable alternative to recent lagers brewed with citrus hops.

Christian (8548) - Odense, - NOV 27, 2007
Pale yellow with a disappearing white head. Lemon soda aroma. Fizzy orange juice flavour. If you prefer Schweppes over beer, this is for you. But why would you want a beer then?

Ungstrup (23961) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 15, 2009

Sweet fruity aroma. Orange & grapefruit syrupy juice. Synthetic aftertaste, quickly disappears. Orange body, medium carbonated. Very drinkable but more like juice than beer.

NosirIwont (1586) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - JUL 3, 2008
Bottle. Thanks to Enjoyit. Pours a pale yellow with a fast-disappearing white head. Aroma is blood orange and citrus, in a somewhat bad way. Really not my thing; cloying. Flavour is sweet citrus and orange. Pretty much like the aroma really, but slightly better, although the citrus is still a bit cloying. As it warms, it becomes very sweet and candy-like. Soft palate. 03-07-08.

Maria (8579) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAR 1, 2008
Light golden with a small head. The aroma could easily be mistaken for being a squash, and so could the flavour. It’s the blood orange, and it’s a very clean flavour - so that part is perfect, and that’s why I give the points I do - but to consider it to be a beer, now that’s difficult!
