2/6/12. 275mL bottle (wtf?). Thanks to PorterPounder for the tip that this was in town. Slightly hazed light copper pour with a small off-white head that fades and is gone. Faint aroma of lemon cleaner, sweetness, light beer, and a bit of metal. However, I really did the taste of this. Sweet lemon and citrus with just a touch of bitter maltiness. It’s like Sprite mixed with just a touch of beer. Not bad... now only if it had some alcohol.

275ml bottle poured into a shaker. Ohhh, and it’s a twist-off! Pours a slightly hazy gold with minimal head. Very faint aroma. Some pine-sol and metal. Taste is super sweet. Lemonade mixed with sprite. Light bodied with a sticky texture. No carbonation and a long sweet finish. Overall, I kinda like the taste. If it had some alcohol in it I would be down with it. I could definitely use this as a mixer with some vodka though.

First saw an expired bottle at Liebmans (fling for almost $5, Pass! .. but then while at world market, $2 and not expired... . Pours a deep amber .. pretty much no foam .. . lots of floaties when i purchased the bottle, when poured carefully a few days later it was ok .. . light honey, sweet malt, and sweet lemon .. . is a very refreshing blend, i’d might buy again in a sixer if it was a touch cheaper and it didn’t have all that sediment .. . . .
do i look like a reasonable man or a peppermint nightmare?

Taste isn’t bad...fake lemon and honey, but it’s 0.5% alcohol so what do I care.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear amber with a very shortlasting small head. Tastes like Pommac with a hint of maltyness. Very sodalike but more beery than Berliner Kindl’s Berliner weissen

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2012 Bottle. Golden colour with a small bubbly head. Ginger nose. Lots of ginger in the flavour as well, light citrus.

Clear orange-yellow colour with a white fizzy head. Smells of a soda ginger ale spices with citrus and caramel. Medium thin body with soft carbonation.Sweet lemon taste with ginger, Sour sweet start with a light bitter middle and a sweet sour finish. Excellent soda pop but as an ale, I question its validity.

Flaske 0,275l - fortært på rom 402 / City Continental London Kensington Hotel 20 Mai 11. Gylden. Nesten ikke skum. Søt brusaroma. Søt. Søt. Søt. Lite som minner om øl. Ikke er det godt heller.
