Metalhead (570), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA Jun 5, 2008 Fizzy,floral,grains and light corn. ABV pretty well hidden. Way too $$ at $8 a 750ml. At least it’s pretty smooth. JPDIPSO (4863), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA May 30, 2008 Straw color with a taller, foamy off-white head. Very pale malt, light fruit and slightly floral nose. A decent euro strong lager aroma. Actually that is not saying much. Pale malt sweetness starts, but is quickly pushed aside, by grains and alcohol. Hints of orange peel and resin reside underneath the alcohol. Reminds me of many a malt liquor with some white grapes and hay. I have to say that I think this starts to taste slightly better as it warms which is atypical of most high gravity pale lager. Still no champagne of beers to me. yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark May 15, 2008 75 cL bottle, beautiful bottle with a nice print directly on the bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Dry bitterhops aroma with a mild cornish and citrus note. Smooth flavour with a light fruity accent and mild sweet corn note. Goes into a light bitterness in the finish - still matched with a nice sweet cornish and light citrus note. Good balance. BritAlesRule (84), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA May 9, 2008 A decent beer. Golden in color, aroma of fresh fruits, not cloying sweet. Spritzy mouthfeel. Dances on tongue, similar to some tripels. Dry. Light complexity. Again, a decent beer used as a welcomer before our Trappist tasting here in the Springs. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 24, 2008 Pour is clear golden yellow with a thin tan head...smell is yeasty and sweet with hints of apricot...taste is sweet and lightly toasty and sort of syrupy and maybe some honey was there too...finish was quick and dry... beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Apr 4, 2008 While living up to the name King Cobra can be tough, this manages to sneak out of the powerful shadow of its 40oz brother. Pours clear straw gold, hazy at the end of the bottle. Fairly clean and crisp, hops balance well, refreshing with a nice dry yeasty finish. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 23, 2008 Bottle. labeled krait prestige. Pours a light golden color with a small white head. Sweet fruity aroma with grass, light malts, and slight corn. Flavor is lightly sweet with a malty character and some grassy hops medium bodied with a clean and dry finish porterhouse (1148), Alna, Maine, USA Mar 2, 2008 (375 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/scarborough/oak-hill-beverage-and-redemption-center/3575.htm target=blank>Oak Hill Beverage) Not bad...Pours clear light yellow with a very tall somewhat foamy white head. Lightly malty (honeyish but not quite) and hoppy (slightly piney) aroma. Mouthfeel quite full, pretty smooth, not bad. Flavor is lightly sweet and malty (like aroma it is honeyish but not quite) with a medium bitterness overlaying with provides a nice little bite in the finish. Litle bit of an alcohol burn in the finish. Kind of like a heller bock. Nothing really remarkable but not much to complain about except slightly lacking in flavor.
