The head might be fluffier, darker and way more stable; for the rest this looks exactly like Coca-Cola. Brown malt, brown chocolate powder, maybe some cardemome. Sweet, but not off-putting. Sweet taste, with a little punch of sour (citric-like) that I tend to associate with artificial sweetening (and souring!), "Traubenzucker", sweet grapes or raisings. But very flat, no depth. Rather thick MF, syrupy, on the verge of cloying. Think about what this is. Very light beer, suitable for children, meant to be drunk with dinner. It might look like CC, it is a hundredfold more wholesome and becoming. But CC can advertise for small children. I prefer this, and so would the children, once accustomed.

Bottle. Brownish colour with a medium light brown creamy head. Aroma and taste of malts and sweet caramel. Nice beer in the sun.

Dark brown colour, small brown colour, Sweet, little metal like aroma, smouth palate sweet taste, some carbonation.Finish is very short and very sweet, little like flat cola.

Dark ruby with brown head. Not much of an aroma but with a small hint of sweetness. Very sweet taste.

A red-brown beer with a dark brown head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of straw. The flavor is very sweet and malty and straw - it is like it has been artificial added sugar. The body is thin.
