Pretty bland and undistinguished. Slight bitterness and indistinct malt flavor.

I very light beer in all aspects except for the carbonation. Way to much for my liking. Light aroma and taste with virtually no alcohol taste.

Destroyer is one of those unique phenomenons of history, when ALL tracks in an album came out pretty damn good. As for the beer with the same name, it doesn’t go even close to the worse tune of Kiss (except most of Psyco Circus). I bought it just for the gimmick. The disaster starts with the aroma - if one can call it "aroma" - which reeks as ssometrhing that I can just picture as Gene Simmons’s hangover halitosis. No more needed. From there, it doesn’t get any better...actually, there’s a song title in Destroyer that I can relate to this experience: Sweet Pain.

I kind of guessed what this would taste like before opening. Pour is clear amber with thin white head. Aroma is slightly wet cardboard like with a sweet almost apricot flavour. Sweet finish and very little bitterness. Not bad, but not gonna make me want to Rock & Roll all night either....
