Bought under the name of Krait Prestige champagne lager at a decently hefty price. Tasted like over carbonated miller to me. Just a sad, sad beer.

Big bottle, rated from backlog. Yellow with medium white fizzy head. Aroma of malt, fruit and grain. Taste follows with same notes plus some alcohol. I expected a bit more.

zacgillbanks (1022) - Tyne & Wear, ENGLAND - MAY 25, 2013
Bottle from Morrisons, Byker, Newcastle. A pale golden beer with a spicy, zesty fruity and lemon flavour, slight sourness, with warmth and vanilla on the finish.

NordicV (792) - Malmö, Sweden, SWEDEN - MAY 18, 2013
Ljust gul öl med ett livligt, medelstort vitt skum. Doft av jäst, citrus, säd och gräs. Fräsch fruktighet av citron och äpple, lätt jästighet och kryddighet i smaken. Ett trevligt sommaröl.

Bardzo dobre i ciekawe piwo. Zawirowania gdzie to produkowane i rozlewane? Pierwotnie jest to piwo Indyjskie ale rozlewane w Belgii a ja widzę że produkcja i dystrybucja Anglia na etykiecie. Wszystko to nieistotne. Liczy się smak i wrażenie. A to piwo robi piorunujące. Po pierwsze jak szampan musujące jasno złote i z wielka piana. Zapach ryzowo kukurydziany. Troche nietypowy, podobnie w smakau. Kukurydza, ale nie jako tani zastepczy slod zamiast jeczmienia bo ten takze wystepuje. Butelka szampanowa i elegandzka zlotawa etykieta. Wszystko to sprawia ze piwo jest arcy ciekawe i eleganckie. Polecam, mimo gdziekolwiek jest produkowane.

5000 (5000) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - MAY 3, 2013
Bottle:   Golden straw, hazy, a little dirty, moderate frothy white head, spotty lacing.   Very pale wheaty nose, maybe grassy.   Very very soft.   Champagne is right.   When it was colder it was more Champagne like, but it lets go as it warms.   Seems like an Ale/Lager hybrid... leaning towards the Ale side.   Guessing that is because of the yeast.   Finishes more of a lager in its sweetness, grassy, with a champagne tinge.   Interesting stuff.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Soft sweet finish, very soft breadiness, perhaps from the yeast.   Drink this stuff cold, cuz once it warms up the champagne aspect seems to dimish.

Bottle, bought @ Vin og Vært, Haderslev. Pours clear golden with a small, fizzy, white head. Aroma has lemon, grain, sharpish alcohol. High carbonation, quite oily and light dry mouthfeel. Flavour has maize, sugar, alcohol, citrus.

hotstuff (3350) - Indiana, USA - APR 12, 2013
Backlog rating 3-13-2009 (Bottle) This beer has a medium sized white very fizzy head with poor retention, transparent body, lively fast-rising carbonation, very bubbly, one ring of lacing, and the body hue is yellow. The aromas are malt, fruit and sweet. Ditto for the taste. The palate is very spritzy and this is a light bodied beer. In conclusion, the ABV did not come into play in the taste. This beer has a lot to be desired as I was not impressed with the taste of this beer and it is a beer that I will not drink again.

Acid303 (275) - Barcelona, CATALONIA, - MAR 18, 2013
75cl bottle. Pours a clear transparent yellow with white frothy head. Sweetness in both aroma and taste: wheat, cereals, hints of candy. Alcohol notes and spice. Very thin, average carbonation. Not my style...it’s enough.
