Deep gold clear with small white head and small fleck lacing. Minimal aroma, faint metallic hops and light malty grain alcohol. Medium body with mainly sweet palate. Fruity nectar and light alcoholic flavours as opposed to the more rugged sour mash alcohol present in the Gold version. The alcohol in this one is just not that evident but it definitely warms the ears by about the third mouthful. Interesting enough but probably the lightest and least typical of this style that I’ve had so far.

I just tried a malt liquor? Really? Nice chap sitting beside me at Smokeless Joe’s, killer ken is his handle, was kind enough to give me a sample. Yellow pour, white head. Surprisingly fruity aroma. Of course, strong alcohol in aroma and taste. Slightly tin like taste as well (stupid can). Not too bad really. Thin, strong, but surprisingly enjoyable.

Herb hellmalziger Antrunk, die Süße ist noch in Ordnung. Etwas klebrig, leicht würzig und angenehm hopfig. Der Alkohol passt gut zu der hellen Malzigkeit und macht das Bier im Abgang voluminöser. Zu Beginn plump aber sonst ok. 8/9/8/9/5/9

Dark golden, sweety, some bitter tomes, decent alcohol, hints of fruits and herbs on palate

Apple mixed with melon aroma. Golden color, small white head, almost no lace. Light sweet, apple, hint of chewing gum but not a bad taste actually. Bit thin though but still sticky and a little alcohol burn in the end. Flavor is ok it's a beer you could easily drink a few off but quality is something else.

Can
Blond color. Simple beer; some malt, sweetness, alcohol. Not the worst Strong Lager.

Canned(500ml). -Orange golden coloured, medium sized firm white head, fruity and some trace of apple in the nose. Lively carbonation. Aroma of malt and hops with fruity notes and sharp alcohol presence. Sweet alcoholic finish.

50cl can. Shared with Bontus. Pours yellow golden with a small white head. light bitter taste less alcohol taste but taste still empty

Flavours of caramel, pears, bubblegum, marshmallows, hints of banana. Some spices? Rather sweet beer. The mouthfeel isn’t unpleasant. A quite interesting malt liquor. Malty finish. Some hay-like notes in the finish. This beer wasn’ t as bad as I thought it might be...

Canned. Golden colour, big fluffy head, which vanishes almost completely. Aroma is hops, malt and alcohol. Classic malt liquor aroma. Flavour is rather malty. Some very weak hints of hops is there. The maltyness drowns everything else, not even alcohol comes through that well.
