Pours gold brew with initial large fizzy head that disappear fast. Aroma of sugar and alcohol . Sweet cheap malt with plenty of dry alcohol . One to avoid.

Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet, almondy, malt and sugar.

Appearance: Pours yellowish pale, a bit hazy and not perfectly clear in texture, quite hihgly carbonated body reminding rather of a premium Lager not a Strong Lager beer. Head is initially big and dynamically decreasing to a medium and pure white in its colour, gives surprisingly good lacing. Generally head and body carbonation are very positive when it comes to this beer.
Aroma: Unripe apple, cabbage but a bit like sauerkraut, alcohol is present, some accent of sweet grainy malts, sour milk, chalk, dust, a kind of interesting aroma, especially for the fact of a compound aroma of a beer such a high alcohol content, cinamon is strongly present and manifesting it in its sweetness.
Flavour: Shiver came down my spine! Nasty! Rusty, cold, wet, sweaty, greasy fur, a kind of nasty wale - fat, some medium carbonation, front was horrible, but noe is a bit better, of course not to mention the fact of haveing very unplesant aftertaste. Very unbalanced flavour, terrible aftertaste, poor palate, leaves your oral cavity dry and parched with unfresh, hangover like aftertaste, finish duration is average.
Palate:Body is medium, textuer is wattery, carbonation on palate is medium, finish feel is dry, parched and all in all so terrible that I’ve decided to decrease its note and give finally 1 for flavour and 1 for palate, no more this beer! The problem is that this beer would be much better if it was brewed by German Brewery that brews Grafen Walder Pils.

Bought at Lidl in Poland. The bottle looks not too bad, but very complex. The beer very zippy for its strength. Aroma very alcoholic. Flavor modest alcoholic, almost mild, not very strong. Not really a good beer.

Bottle. Fair white mostly deminishing head. Muddy body. Ugly yellow colour. Almost malty aroma. B´ready metallic flavour. Short finish. Watery texture allthough it is 7,2 ABV. This is one of the worst beers I have tasted.
