I’m guessing with this one, I was feckin’ wankered at the time of drinking it, woke up next morning to find it half drunk in the middle of the livingroom floor. Tried a bit and tasted of piss. Down the sink. Not bad otherwise.

hazy light golden with liny white head, notes of yeast, grain, some fruit and toffee. Flavour is sweet. Not much king nor cobra about it!

Huge, just off-white head, fluffy, fast disappearing over pale golden beer with a light hazy sheen. Pale malts, cookie malts and alcohol in the nose, spicy. Cheap alcohol flavour, sweet, scorched sugar, caramel-like. Little sourishness, fleeting. Rather well-carbonated, bit aggressive, burning MF. Kind of luxus version of a malt liquor. I hope Rodenbach gets payed well for having this lying around - beats me for what purpose.

I think this is a decent European lager. Much better than expected, the average Cobra is absolutely awful. I like lager which may be frowned upon by you beer geeks. Like I give a fuck. Crisp, sweet, hoppy. I liked it.

Bottled (Brewed by Impala Distillery and Brewery, Goa). Light golden coloured. Clear. Small off white head. Bready, grainy and sweet aroma. Flavour of rye bread, light herbs and fruits. Is not specially good and pleasant in aroma and flavour. Thin bodied. Bready and alcoholdense end. This is 61 IRS down the drain.
