75cl bottle. Pale straw with a thick billowing white head; heavily carbonated. Flowery, herbal hop aroma; thick and oily in the mouth with a sweet grainy flavour. Smooth and easy to drink, the alcohol being well masked.

75cl bottle. Golden, fizzy pale head. Very alcoholic , sweet banana ice-cream aroma. Flavor is booze, fried banana, sweet malts and little hops. Light but smooth palate. A clean alcohol bomb.

light grain aroma with hints of fruity yeast. Hazy yellow color with a large white head that quickly diminishes. Mild sweet malt beginning that fades in the finish. Chewy palate.

Small corked bottle called "Krait Champagne Lager" purchased at John’s Market Place in Portland, OR--Poured a bright orange golden bubbly body with a medium-to-thick white head. Fruity esters in the nose. Apples, pears, oranges, and alcohol. Earthy, spritzy sharp mouthfeel. Mildly tangy and tart with a nice fruit backing. The only problem was the mild cardboard flavor. Probably a bit old. Not nearly as bad a beer as I was anticipating.

Way over-priced at 12$. Fruity nose of pear, sweet toffee. Appearance is unimpressive, much like applejuice, without much of a head. Heavily carbonation full of spice, alcohol completely hidden. Awful name.

Bottled. Golden colour, not much of a head. Aroma is alcohol, some fruity sweetness as well as mild notes of earth. Flavour is quite much the same, in a bad way, as the beer is totally out of balance and also quite harsh.
