Well hidden alcohol, full-bodied and warming, but still refreshing. A goodie ! Rastacouere (5553), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 14, 2005 Very low carbonation ponctuates the clear straw body covered by a trace of white head that rapidly becomes a ring. Aroma is immediately highly grainy, apparently a standard for strong blonde lagers with profound bleachy alcohol if not pungent. Rather strong, strawy, herbal saaz tones. Spicy palate, bringing a good slash of bitterness into the could have been too sweet development. The malt remains fairly subtle despite its quantity. Light carbonation, comfortable texture. Alright balance, quite mellow and the herbal alcohol seems to work better for me than in the aroma, but this is another beer that truly serves no purpose to me and I could just not dig it as much as my peers. There are plenty of better strong lagers, nevermind ales and this stays all along on the border of delicacy behind which stand gloriously plenty of pils or helles to serve the thirst-quenching and crisp grounds better than Jihlavsky. Plenty are far more complex while we’re at it..
