(30cl bottle best by Feb 2011 thanks to bu11zeye) pale yellow, syrupy body with few bubbles. Nose is syrupy, alcohol, and apple. Taste of alcohol, hairspray, apple, hot, nothing good here. Gross.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, orange color with soapy white foam, aroma of grainy lemon, flavors of sweaty bubblegum with a syrupy finish

Canned. Golden beer with almost no head. Almsot no aroma. Sweet alcohol flavor, pepper notes. Way too much alcohol, still I was expecting even more.. Maybe some metal notes.

27.07.2010, 0,5l Can. Golden yellow colour. Malty aroma. Strong alcohol flavour, ok balanced with the beer.

Sweet! Wow! Sweet again! and Wow again! Alcohol! Those were my first notes. I had no idea this was a malt liquor or this bad when I bought the bottle at a Dutch grocery store. It is bad, so awful. Fizzy frothy with a metallic bitterness seemingly a relief from the terrible front end of this beer. Don’t drink it.

33 cl bottle, Maastricht, The Netherlands. Off-golden colour, faint malt aroma. Sour alcohol sweet flavor, not great.

50cl can poured into a shaker. Clear gold with two fingers white head. Aroma is dirty dish water. Tastes like the water from canned corn but a bit sweeter and more metallic. This is horrible.

Bottled 30cl. Ordered from www.bierzwerg.de. It pours a clear golden beer. Strong reminiscence of marzipan and acetone in the nose which I don’t really like, but also some lovely lavender and acacia honey on the other hand. Malt accented. Alcoholic with a hint of onion. Honey being rather present in the taste. Low carbonation. Definitely not a bad malt liquor- a lot better than Amsterdam Maximator.
