yellow, with a strong hay smell.. tastes very fieldy.. as in grass and stuff, strange flavours, lots of alcohol it is hard to get down. holsten festbock is alot better

Appearance: golden yellow with a proud white head. Aroma: grass, wheat, some slight damp cardboard with malt. Flavour: malt, quite sweet, alcoholic, some odd flavour coming through, kind of a saccharin taste with a cloying sweet finish. Drinkable (barely)

What can I say, just not a fan. Had some weird taste I can’t put my finger on, or was it I drank this beer to late in the evening. Either way some citrus with metallic taste...off!

Golden color, and fizzy head when poured. Strong alcohol content, can taste more of an alcohol flavor than many other beers. It was drinkable though, although would never be my first choice.

It is hard to imagine Holsten doing any worse but they do in this product. The higher alcohol content just makes it taste boozey and awful. Higher quality beers can up their alcohol content without worry but Holsten can not. I poured the last last half down the sink as I just could not stomach this awful swill any longer. No quality malts here.

From can. Weak malt aroma. Decent head. Spicy, malt and bitter flavour. Refreshing I suppose.

Poured from can. Nice golden color, but small head that disappeared quickly. Strong alcohol content which was fine, but tasted pretty malty with a bit of sweetness. Not horrible, but not a favorite.

Can de 500 ml. Une miel de couleur miel avec un collet presque nul non-collant. Arome de malt et de sirop de mais. Gout un peu sucré, blé, sirop de mais et miel.
