A decent cola bier, not great, but probably because of 60% altbeer. Less altbeer, may be better for this cola beer

Bottle. A clear, copper to brown colored beer with a small, off-white head sitting patiently on top. Artificially sweetish cola and not much else on the nose. It has a medium body, sticky, and finishes cola sweet. The flavor is cola-sweet with some wort-like hints. A rather poor one. 091202

33cl blue colored(!) bottle @ home, shared with Dutchdrebus. Looks like cola indeed, but completely dead, no carbonation whatsoever. Clear brown color, no head. Smells like an old faint weak coffee with far over best before date cola, musty and dust. Tastes like cola with a weird medicinal side taste and a lousy finish. Low body, very low carbo.

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.

Brown cola coloured. Sourish cola aroma. Very sweet and cloying cola flavour. Thin.

Bottle, from a supermarket in Köln. A mix of beer and coke sounds like a rock stars dream but turns out to be a complete nightmare. Deep chestnut brown, poor shortlived head and moderate condition. Gentle sweet cola aroma, unremittingly sweet cola in the mouth and an unwarranted second encore of cola in the finish, long after everyone has left the building in disgust.

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2004 I guess this is just another attempt to increase the popularity of beer among young people during the summer months. However, this mixture of NA-beer (that's what it tastes like) combined with coke just can not be categorized as beer. Not too bad for a regular coke though....

This is the very best alt-cola mix I ever had!

Bottle. brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is cola syrup, malt. Flavour is cola, watry, syrup, malt, wort. Thin body. Bad beer.

Dark brown body, has a medium white head. Really sweet cola nose. Flavor of cola, some mint.
