Pours light amber with a small head, that quickly dissipates. Sweet aroma. Alcohol burn is nicely hidden; sweet malty aftertaste. Shockingly good for what I expected.

Golden colour with very short but almost lasting head. Sweet malty, grainy alcoholic aroma. Fairly sweet taste but not overly so, some adjuncts in there, grainy and a bit astringent.

Fruity smell, melon. Taste is quite sweet, maybe a little too much. Def doesn’t taste like a 11,6 percent beer, more like a spring bock.

330 ml bottle. Golden color, frothy white head. Alcoholic aroma with malty notes. Fairly sweet caramel flavot with a LOT of alcohol. Full body, medium carbonation. Blech. I doubt I’d buy this again even if it was the ONLY thing available.

330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Pale gold, tiny head. Sweet almond aroma and brightly coloured synthetic pencil erasers. Pleasant carbonation, simple soft body, but woh - duz de booze goze up ze noze or what! However, it’s curiously tasty, and doesn’t taste as strong as it really is, it’s only up to about 8-9% on the burn stakes. Just don’t let the vapours go up your nose. Finish is malts and adjuncts, or the fermentation products thereof. Go out and buy a Het Anker to assuage your guilt for wasting money on this nonsense.

Too strong, too alcoholic. Not a good balance. The alcohol is too dominant.

30 cl. bottle. Nice but very powerful. This beer is for men, not for less evolved unvertebrates.

can, 50 cl, orange-golden with small white head. it’s a too sweet, not-balanced, very thin flavored beer. strange ginger flavor comes through (not a good thing). overall, pretty bad
