Seems more classy when named Krait even if Krait is a less than attractive name. Big ass foam up giving a bubbly white cap and a clear yellow gold brew. The aroma is very forward with its fruitiness - oranges, peaches, red apples with a slight grain and a bit of funk. The taste is so-so with apples, yeast, grains, a bit of musty spices and faint alcohol in the after taste. Comes across thick but not full bodied due to its stick mouth feel. Ends a tad dry.

75 cl bottle at my garage-tasting 8th. May. Bougth in England summer 2008. The champagne-cork almost made a hole in the ceiling. Yellow golden color, white head. Aroma is sweet candy and yeast. Flavor is sweet malty, some hops, alcohol, a bit spice and fruit. Fine carbonation, sweet mouthfeel.

750 ml bottle. Pours a pale golden colour, with a medium white head. Good malty aroma, with hint of citrus. The taste is malt, with a more than a hint of alcohol., with a ling dry finish.

Deep gold with nice white head, intense carbonation, aroma of banana and peach some baking aromas as well, alcohol burst with some apple pie and bitter sweet finish, body is medium. Nice strong lager, anyway it is not my style.

Bottle, 75cl corked. Shared by Tarjei. It pours a pale golden body, slightly hazy, and topped by a dense, white head. Some DMS in the aroma is soon overpowered by the sweetness, hops and some alcohol. A little sulphury touch in the background. The flavor is quite sweet, with nice hops, pale malts, fruits and a decent bitterness. Warming, well carbonated mouthfeel. The finish goes on for a while, with a decent bitterness. A beer that might deserve a higher rating. (090508)

Bottled 0,75 l (Alko Arkadia). Pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma of pear and leather. Quite light palate. Fizzy, Champagne-like carbonation. Pear, cardboard, corn in the flavor. Suprisingly watery for being 8%. Lame ESL, don’t give fancy bottle to fool you.

750 ml bottle, which is the only thing it comes in. Pours golden with a large white head. Sweet and Malty with a slight herbyness to it. One of the more remarkable asian beers. Pleasant but nothing special. Best enjoyed with a hot curry.

750 ml bottle. Pale golden color, frothy white head. Malty aroma. Malty flavor with alcohol and some spiciness. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. Basically just a beefed up pale lager. Bleh.
