Canned. Golden colour, small white head. ARoma is alcohol, malts and that#s pretty much it. Flavour is alcohol, malts and some slight hoppyness. Surprisingly drinkable for being 9 %.

500ml can from local supermarket. Didn’t even realise they were still making this stuff. Pale gold. Surprisingly clean and easy-drinking. Yes, there is a modest alcoholic afterburn but it is not too severe. Hardly refined or interesting but not as rough as expected. One for the more discerning tramp.

This actually could be a decent beer, if it had more hops and less alcohol. The malt flavour is okay, but on the whole the beer is way too unbalanced.

Not much aroma, thin and metallic. First sip is fairly smooth, but then the alcohol comes through loud and clear. Flavor is too much alcohol to get down.
