Not as harsh tasting as its competitors but I found it difficult to drink only managed half the can, I poured the rest away, overall its tasteless and has average lager qualities

tommann (1224) - Dudley, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUN 5, 2011
500ml can. Pours gold with a thin head. Aroma is alcohol and corn. Taste doesn’t have much to start. Alcohol and caramel in the finish.

Leighton (3595) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 28, 2011
Can at home with Lyoli. Pours honey-gold with a thin, white head. Sugary malt aroma, some ripe (rotten?) fruits, too. Very sweet flavor, some bready malts, white and slightly toasted sugar, notes of alcohol (beerlike and rubbing). Medium bodied with full, explosive carbonation. Hot finish with distinct boozy burn, some sugars faint bread, not much bitterness, maybe hints of earth. As far as ’strong pale lagers’ go, this beer is slightly above average.

Pale gold colour with a thin head, it smells and tastes much like most other very strong lagers.

harrisoni (9609) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JAN 20, 2011
500ml can from local corner shop on way home from work. Now I do have some history with this beer. I spent a couple of nights as a teenager out of my face on this stuff. So it’s either going to make me sick or it’s going to bring back some Proustian memories. Clear gold, thin white head. Syrupy strong alcohol aroma with touch of washing up lemon. Again, it’s not that bad. It’s cold enough. It’s ok. Some bit of burn. But I’ve had a lot worst. As I say, some burn. It does get you drunk though. I had this whilst watching My Cousin Vinnie for the first time.

fonefan (23599) - VestJylland, DENMARK - NOV 29, 2009
Can 500ml.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, apple, sugar. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic. [20090807]

mkel07 (1556) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - OCT 9, 2009
500ml can. Nice surprise this one. Bright orange colour with a fluffy white head and strong carbonation. Aroma of grain and straw. As the name suggests it is super strong in alcohol and it is rather smooth and tasty. I wouldn’t drink too many in one session.
