3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Great floral aroma, sweet light malts, saaz hops. Eh flavor falters, dense pils malts, this would’ve been much better with lighter malt bill. Pilsner finish.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(500ml bottle best by 5-1-10 thanks to bu11zeye) clear copper with a small white head. Nose of alcohol, toffee, and fruity. Taste is very alcoholic, biting, gold raisins, creamy/alcoholic finish with prickly carbonation.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear light amber with a small white head. Aroma is malt, prunes and alcohol. Taste is sweet malt, dried fruit and alcohol with light hops to balance. Slightly sticky. One of the better euro strong lagers, because the malt profile veers toward doppelbockish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml bottle in a shaker. Pours deep golden with a thick, lacy, off-white head. Aroma of bread, light hops, and a little alcohol. Flavor about the same. Average, sort of silky texture. A decent beer, but nothing special.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Clear deep golden, rich head. Dusty and fruity with some caramel and glue. Mid sweet with rounded mouthfeel and medium-full body. Low bitterness. A pretty decent mocny, hising the alcohol well without getting sticky or edgy.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orangery copper. Ring of foam. Caramel and corn aroma. Flavor is smooth and sweet (yes, I am aware that "smooth" isn’t really a flavor, just go with it...). Caramel vanilla, maybe a hint of bourbon. Slightly boozy finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma of grass, corn/adjuncts, alcohol. The appearance is clear orange/gold, vanishing white head. The flavor is malty, grass, boozy, adjuncts. The body is medium to medium/thick. The finish is light noble hop bittering. Not bad for what it is.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
500 ml bottle.
Pours a bright orange/gold with tons of tiny bubbles racing towards the top to a creamy white head that lasts awhile and leaves a bit of lacing.
The smell is subdued and not too pungent, light hops, carmally malts.
The taste is pretty sweet with no sign of hops. Theres thick caramel, butterscotch, and fruit flavors. The alcohol is pretty noticeable.
It is a bit cloying but not quite over the edge.
It is a high octane brew but doesn’t exactly drink like one, it is cheap but i prob wouldn’t buy it again.
