SHIG (1549), Oberoffligen, Germany Jun 27, 2008 Bottle: Poured a highly carbonated dark brown with a tan color head. The aroma was malty with hints of dirty cola. Taste is overwhelmingly sweet cola at first, but it subsided to leave a malt grain finish. Jerre (1399), Waregem, Belgium Sep 21, 2007 Bottle, 33 cl. Thanks tot Leen.
What is this ?
Can called this mix a good beer.
Brwon color, off-white head. Aroma
sweet cola. Thin body. Taste is very sweet, with a bit lots of malt and caramel.
No good. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 10, 2007 Phew, I did not really understand what it was until I tasted it, apparently reacted weirdly and was explained that this was a mix. The pour gives first suspicions though, it comes out pretty much cola coloured and rather fizzy despite a neglectable head. A gross perversion of an otherwise above average alt, making it rather sweet, though the beer adds a lot of character to this soft drink and the palate manages not to be too biting. Still abominable, that rooty, minty, bubblegum flavour bothers the caramely and cerealic bottom. Bad, but I’m no cola drinker. MiP (6029), Flensburg, Germany Mar 3, 2007 Bottle, 2,9%. Cola colour and head. The flavour is mostly cola, but less sweet. Beer mouthfeel. Finishes slightly caramelly and drier than cola. Better than most mixes and actually better than cola straight. Papsoe (10397), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 9, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Beautiiful almost mahogany-colored beer with a vaguely brown head. Another "Mischgetränk" - this time in the rather rare combination of Altbier and cola. And it actually tastes pretty good. Beer is the more pronounced ingredient as this drink is in a 60/40-mix. (Usually it’s 50/50). The cola removes most of the bitterness, but it isn’t sticky. Not bad. 190703
