UPDATED: SEP 16, 2006 Can (500ml). All-swill minitasting #2 - after the horrific Bavaria 8.6, can this really be worse? Very pale gold, ugly large fizzy white quick-dropping head - looks just like the Bavaria. Unpleasant dry grainy/rice alcohol harsh aroma, but at least it’s GRAINy - just poor, not ugly. Tastes just like it smells - cheap grain, dead UK hops, way too much booze - and the booze doesn’t go away ... I wish the whole thing would go away, nasty aftertaste. Watery, lively yet mostly dead mouthfeel, primary charcter is cheap booze, slightly sticky - an ugly beer for getting you legless quick - but there’s a real beer underneath the forced booze; not a good one, but it’s beer.

Canned(500ml). –found this in ATAC supermarket in Jougne, France. Very fizzy. Malty and sweet faint fruity aroma, alcohol is dominating. Sharp alcohol finish.

Golden colour with a white head. Malty, light fruity sweet aroma with a clear alcohol. Malty flavor with a light straw note and hints of alcohol.

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Light fruity, alcoholic aroam and taste. Medium body with a alcoholic finish.

Can. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Aroma of fruits and lots of alcohol. Flavour of malts and alcohol with notes of fruits.

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2008 Dark yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Cooking oil aroma with lots of alcohol , and sugared malts. Orange peel gone wrong. Sweet alcoholic citric flavours, totally whacked with the heavy booze finish. Not good at all, but I’ve had worse. Can from the LCBO.

Huge alcohol aroma stings the nose. Clear golden body with small white head that disappears. Strong alcohol flavour is rather sweet with some metallic notes in the finish. Light body with strong carbonation. Can. Entered from notes.

Tap, Excalibur, Girona, Spain. Clear yellow color, short head. Aroma is grainy, some hops. Bit malty and grainy taste. I didn’t expect it to be rated this bad actually. Maybe, because it was from tap that it’s much better?

Bottled. Golden, creamy head. Sweetish cereal-aroma. Metallic, rather malty flavour. Alco-taste. Some fruitiness.

Golden/yellow, white head. Malty aroma with diacetyl, some fruity notes. Mild to be this strong, but also boring. Not much taste at all but some alcohol is found.
