2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Drinking from a bottle of Krait Prestige Champagne Lager from Binny-apostrophe-s Beverage Depot in Orland Park, IL: I think this was my first corked bottle of a lager. It poured a pale gold body with plenty of carbonation and a respectable creamy head that oddly produced no lace. The aroma is sugary and grainy with a touch of alcohol. The alcohol disappears from the flavor and is replaced by a light grassy bitterness. Soft mouthfeel. Drinkable, but?
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
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.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with alcohol notes. Sweet flavor with caramel, malty and boozy notes.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
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.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
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.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
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.
