Bottle. Dark golden colour with a medium white head. Malty, light fruity aroma and a sweet malty taste. Medium body with a sweet finish.

Big bubbly head, deep golden color with reddish tones. Decent, quite strong but boring aroma. Watery palate. Thin and dull flavor. Some maltiness in the end, but a very tired beer overall.

Bottled 0,33L. Compact head of medium adhesion, little long-lasting. Unusually clearly and "dingy" color; lightly hazy orange with discreet fizz. Little harmonious and gaunt scent; acidulous notes of cereals, alcohol and cellar. Light prickly and decidedly watery taste. A lot meager with a modest bitter and little balanced on the end. Thanks to mabjork fot this beer.

Bottled. Clear golden in colour. Medium sixed head. Minor lacings. The aroma is sweet and malty. There are some sweet hints of caramel in the flavour.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2008 The colour is not as red as it should or could be. Short head, blend aroma of malt. Taste is more sweet than the standard Koff, aftertaste very refreshing with a faint fruit punch at the end.

Bottled. Clear, copper/golden colour, with medium size foamy, short-lived, white head. Sweet malty aroma. Fairly nondescript, sweet malty flavor with some caramel. No hopbitter whatsoever. Fizzy but smooth. Refreshing. So, a bland lager in a fancy bottle, yet better than I had expected.

UPDATED: APR 11, 2006 Bottled. Pale amber, average head. Fruity lightly flowery aroma. Sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Slight bitterness in the finish. Does not offer anything flavourwise, but with a less mellow, cloying malt profile than the regular macro lagers it’s definitely a step up.

Bottled. Deep golden colour, mediumsized foamy head, some lace. Malty sweet aroma. Sweet caramelly malt in flavour, but still very watery.
