(375 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/scarborou 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.

Flaske 0,75l fra juletilbudet hos Alko Arkadia. Lys gylden på farge. Høyt kremaktig skum som varer lenge. Litt uklart. Syrlig & krydret aroma. Litt pepper. Smaken er flat & kjedelig. Avrundet. Etterlater en smak av alkohol. Veldig uklar på slutten: Rester av ettergjæringen - som burde være positiv, men her var det ikke mye å glede seg over. KI=7

Pale yellow with a dense, rocky head. Mild, but well-rounded honeyed malt aroma with essence of spicy lemon. Tingly at first on the palate as it washes over in high-pitch sweet malt, green grapes, and perfumed fingers. Perfumey aftertaste.

Sold as Krait Prestige in a 750mL bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow color with a modest amount of carbonation and a decent white head that quickly fades down to a very thin film. Aroma is a sweet grainy, mild floral hops note with some skunk, some yeasty ester and spicy notes hide in the back and finishes with a light straw characteristic. Flavor has a malt liquor light taste to it, a mild sweet tone, some champagne character and dryness at the end. Light body, thin texture, mod/high amount of effervescent feeling from the carbonation. Overall a decent brew but one that does not live up to what the packaging would suggest it should be.

They can put this in a 750ml corked bottle and pretend its a classy beer but dress a pig up in perals and diamonds, and a pig is still going to be a pig . A buttery, sweet and malty strong Ghetto-style rocket juice. The booze is sharp and attacking . Spicy hops try to give you throat cancer. No way.

Well. This is a singularly underwhelming beer. The bottle says brewed in Belgium v. the Polish version listed here. Poured with an ok white head and a bit of lace. Straw yellow color. With the full head picked up a pleasant fleeting aroma. Gone now; friends didn’t pick it up. Flavor is basically sweet. And that’s it. Body and carbonation is ok. Finsih is uh, yeah. Forgettable beer.

Krait Prestige a lager by Fabber e Imbott. This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated orange colored body. The aroma was lagerish and candied. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The interesting thin and light flavor contained notes of caramel and lager like. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

12/15/2007: Krait Prestige Champagne Lager smells like a dull American Pale Lager and looks like one too (clear golden color with a diminishing white head). This beer is malty without being overly sweet or fruity and has some spice and bitterness. The beer has a medium-light to medium body and is pretty smooth. Overall it has a good flavor despite the deceptive aroma and is well-balanced.

375 mL/12.7 fl. oz. bottle (Alc. 8%/Vol.). Rating #151 for this beer.

Golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma with strong alcohol. Sweet and fruity flavour with alcohol heat.
