Bottle@Københavnske Øldage. Pretty boring it has to be said, but pretty smooth and the alcohol isn’t noticeable at all, which is quite rare in beers that have hardly any flavour and are so strong. A bit fizzy aswell. Lets face it, theres not much happening.

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.

Bottled, pasteurised, 750ml. Carbonated gold with fizzed head. Strong Eurolager with strong malt note, interesting without being that good, sweetish, cardboard. An awful lot of below average beer in one bottle.

Clear yellow colour with a white head. Malty, light sweet aroma with a vague hint of grass. Malty, alcohol and grainy sweet flavor with a hoppy grassy finish.

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.

Bottle, 75cl corked. Shared by Tarjei. It pours a pale golden body, slightly hazy, and topped by a dense, white head. Some DMS in the aroma is soon overpowered by the sweetness, hops and some alcohol. A little sulphury touch in the background. The flavor is quite sweet, with nice hops, pale malts, fruits and a decent bitterness. Warming, well carbonated mouthfeel. The finish goes on for a while, with a decent bitterness. A beer that might deserve a higher rating. (090508)

Bought this last week and didn’t know what to expect to be honest. Pours gold with a fluffy white head that dissipates fast (like champagne). That’s where the comparison to Champagne ends. Smells of grapes and citrus. Tastes overly sweet with some peppery splashes. Not all that exciting. Malheur and Deus are both better than this (albeit more expensive).

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?
