500ml can. Well-carbonated, slight cocoa flavor. Early slightly sweet flavor balance then dry finish. OKAY

vickey9 (164) - Brussels, BELGIUM - DEC 17, 2011
Golden color with a disappearing white head. Grainy and fruity nose. Sharp carbon, medium body. Just malt and corn on palate. Caramel. Cider. Disappointing finish, C@H

Miksu (4025) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - NOV 29, 2011
0.33 l bottle, thanks Miika! Copper color. Aromas of toasty caramel, honey and some solventy alcohol. The flavor is mostly bready with some honey, caramel, tart fruitiness (apple) and some alcohol. Medium to full body. Fairly bock like Mocne.

bsp77 (724) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 5, 2011
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Pint glass. Appearance: Clear, light bronze with moderate fizzy head. Light lacing. Aroma: Hoppy aroma (with grass, lemon and herbs) but fairly sweet, with some cherry and caramel beneath. Taste: Not as sweet as the aroma (but still somewhat sweet), and mild considering the abv. Cherry, bread, caramel and biscuit dominate the flavor, with some herbal and spicy hops providing a little (but not quite enough) balance. Still, surprisingly enjoyable. Palate: Moderate carbonation, medium body. As expected, there is some amount of residual sweetness. Overall: For a Euro Strong Lager, this actually is pretty damn good, and it thankfully isn’t overly cloying. The "Malt Liquor" moniker on the label is simply a travesty.

Grass and malt and hay; honey bread overtones. Light and non-bitter finish. Drinkable, but not memorable.

RobertDale (981) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - AUG 3, 2011
11.2 ounce bottle. Pours an orange/gold with an average white head. Aroma of sweet malt and grain. Taste starts with sweet malt and finishes metallic. Not bad, but not very good.

tgncc (1919) - Bellmore, New York, USA - JUL 13, 2011
Sweet aroma, corn, some grass. The appearance is yellow/amber, white head. The flavor is sweet, corn, grass. The finish is sweet residue, noble hops. Medium in body. OK.

wlajwl (1809) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - JUL 12, 2011
Malty with a hint of sweetness in the aroma while the appearance is golden. The flavor is malty and grainy with some hops in the aftertaste. Good upgrade from a pale lager, not a malt liquor but a good lager overall.

daknole (5865) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - MAY 24, 2011
Orangish pour. Full fledged honey butter nose and I will be damned if it doesnt taste that way too. Some mandarin orange syrup too.

emacgee (3004) - Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA - APR 28, 2011
Soft straw gold pour with two fingers of foamy white head. Smells like wet bread and sweet malt, dextrinous. Spicy alcohol. Well whaddya know, tastes like wet bread too. Slightly oxidized herbal hops. Full bodied with a soft carbonation.
