'The Karlsberg brewery in Hamburg, have opted to chase the shifting taste buds of the younger crowds by creating new drinks made of beer mixed with cola, tequila, fruit juices or other ingredients.
"A lot of young people told us they didn't like the sharp taste of beer," said Karlsberg spokeswoman Ute Leitner. "They want something better. Beer just isn't cool enough anymore. It's not hip. It's what their parents drink."
In 1993, the company came up with a new drink called "Mixery" made up of beer, cola and a secret ingredient it calls X.'
After trying this, I could see why the Germans want something better.

Originally rated October 2005. Purchased in a Richelieu store in Quebec City. Pours a golden colour with touches of orange. The head is foamy and medium, and leaves nice wavy lace. Smells like a grainy pils. Very refreshing mouthfeel that is half dry, half crisp. Smooth start and then gets bitter and bitter, very lightly though. Nothing crazy, but great thirst quenching German Pilsner.

UPDATED: MAY 17, 2011 Draft pint in Cannes, France. Pours deep amber, with foaming sustained white head. Nose is bit of sweet malt. Flavour is reasonably rich malt character for a lager, a little cut grass and slight bitterness. Not bad for aa refreshing summer lager.

Can in Geneva. Golden body with medium head. Nose of corn and malts. Taste of pilsener style, some citrus notes. Not bad at all.

Refreshing and cold, a good all-rounder. Pretty good tasting and not too fizzy.

A clear light orange beer with a tiny white head. Scent is musty, corn bran cereal. Taste is sweet malts and a hint of metal.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
0.50l can at home. Not as bad as I thought it would be, my initial thoughts were backed up by the other reviews. So a little better than it says on the can... but still not good.

[tap in Aussois, France]
Slightly skunky aroma with some sulfur and maybe some malt too. Clear, dark straw with a lasting white cover. Watery and a bit tangy, not so fresh hops flavour that is just slightly too sweet to be crisp. Light body, medium carbonation, lasting sweet tang that is not so pleasant in the finish.

Draught. Nothing remarkable about this particular pilsner, a typical macro.
