Bottle 330ml.

Clear medium red amber colour with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, spicy, cola notes, lime - rum notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a average duration, artificial sweet, lime - rum. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110731]

Brown with a small off-white head. Aroma dominated by cola essence and artificial spice notes. Sweet candy flavour, in particular (unsurprisingly) cola flavoured winegum.

Cute 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. A flavoured pale lager. Tastes rather sweet and artificial. I think the flavouring is supposed to be rum and cola, and it does resemble that. I like fruit flavoured lambics, and I’m not adverse to flavoured lagers, as I find them fun, but this one, while drinkable, didn’t impress me. It could be a soft drink.

Bottle at ChrisO and Ruth’s - Thanks. Clear red/brown - white head. Cola vingummi, cherry, lemon, champagne brus, soda, wierd.

Bottle @ Chris O’s. Thanks guys. Pours clear red with a bubbly off white head. Sweet cherries, gløgg and bubblegum. Synthetic and sticky. Cheap cola beans.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. There is a bit of rum in the aroma. Something a bit chocolatey too. Sweet on the palate. I didn’t find that much cuba libre to be honest. Certainly no masterpiece but not as confected or unpleasant as I expected.

Bottled (from Beers Of Europe). Amber colour, not much head. Aroma and flavour both are very much Cuba Libre. More lemonade than alcohol (and even further from beers, even though there seems to be beer here...)

Bottle. Brown and tasted like a nasty alco-pop aimed at 13 year olds. Awfuk apart from the engraved bottle. Pour the contents down the sink and appreciate the bottle.

Bottle. Brown with a thin foam. Aromas are cheap cola and medicine with syrup and chocolate. Flavours are very sweet and cloying cola with lemon. Very sweet with sour vomit on the finish. Plain bad.
