I struggled through a tall can of this beer purchased in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The beer had an aggressive liquor-like alcohol aroma with strong scents of adjunct and a subtle grain/corn scent. It was a light gold beer with a small white head that quickly dissipated and had little-to-no cling or retention. The beer taste powerfully alcohol and liquor-like with very little typical beer components whatsoever. It was a very thin, dry beer with a light body and low carbonation. One of the worst beers I have ever had.

Can. Murky, yellow, and totally flat. First whiff yields nothing overly offensive, just sweet unmalted cereal and THEN, the chemicals come out. The ethanol. The carburetor fluid. The engine oil. The paint thinner. Heavy, high gravity plonk. Tastes hideous and sweet, but has an endearing bang-for-your buck quality that brings back memories of high school.

Looks like a flat, cloudy unblended lambic. Sadly it doesn’t smell like one. Utlra aggressive chemicals. Harsh so that you pull your nose away from it quickly. The taste...that’s not beer. Plastic, chemical and tons of alcohol. Some apples maybe? I think so. But I’ve had a lot of moonshine and it was all more refined than this.
