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. renffisch (519), london, Greater London, England

Fruity, malty and a bit acidic flavor. Vanilla and cream maybe, yeast. Somewhat mixture of a lager and a belgian tripel. Interesting and surprisingly good food companion. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Gets a bit boozy when warm. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Rule #1, if you are going to call your beer "King Cobra," make sure there is not a ghetto malt liquor that goes by the same name. Given that, this is not nearly that bad. Pours clear gold with lots of bubbles and a big white head. Grassy, floral, spun-sugar aroma. Corn syrup, grassy hops, and black pepper in the taste. Some sugary banana throughout. Not champagne, but decent. omhper (12171), Stockholm, Sweden

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2008 750 ml bottle, shared by DarkElf. Pours clear golden color with a large white foamy head. Somewhat grainy malts, with hints of belgian yeast character and floral notes. Sweet grainy malts in the flavor, a hint of lager soapiness, more of the slight belgian yeastiness lending a bit of bread and spice in the finish along with light floral hoppiness. Medium body, smooth and easy carbonation. Definitely interesting.
