The bottlecap shows an opener and the message ’not included’. Very funny. The beer itself is nothing special, pretty much what I expected. Bought at the Ikea in Amsterdam.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear golden and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a dusty malty touch . This beer smells malty.

Pours clear golden with a low head. Aroma is slightly fruity malts. Flavor is malts with a hint of hops. Surprisingly good.

33 cl bottle, Sheffield, UK via Ikea Nottingham. Solid gold colour, sweet aroma, grains, honey, faint spice. Somewhat oily texture, not very carbonated, then a sweet tepid finish.

UPDATED: JUL 23, 2012 Golden body, very lively, and a bubbly white head. Classic feel to this, surprisingly hoppy, peppery but unfortunately also somewhat grainy. Taste is medium bitter, quite okay. Light drinkable body. Aroma and taste above my expectation. A fun beer to try. (33cl bottle, thanks Sjoerd!) Extra note: apparently brewed by Kronleins: http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/kronleins-bryggeri

Barva: světlejší zlatá. Pěna: lehká s velkýma bublinama, nedržící. Vůně: přijemná sladová, celkem výrazná. Chuť: výrazná nahořklá chmelová chuť, ostřejší sycené pivo. Dlouhý chmelový dozvuk s lehkou sladovou koncovkou, kterou ovšem přebije výrazná pachuť.

33cl. Bottle. Poors clear yellow orange with white head. Aroma malts. Taste is bad bitter, some sweet. Mouth-feel thin. Not good.

Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!). Clear golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, paper in the nose. Sweet malty, grainy and some cardboard with dusty sweet finish. Not good.

Bottiglia da 33cl. Bel colore oro carico con schiuma scarsa, bianca e non molto persistente. Al naso poco, solamente note maltate. Al palato un leggero dolce iniziale con note metalliche per finire con un pizzicore sulla lingua.

Found at the IKEA in Budaörs. Dull golden body, medium sized thick white head. Odd woody dusty nose. Empty and sourish, sweetish dry malty taste Slightly eggy. Impressively unimpressive.
