JaKeAFC (203) - ITALY - MAR 2, 2012
50cl can, red colour with a reddish-white head, with no lace. Roasted nose. Syrup and caramel with smooth roasted malts, maybe some fruitiness. Taste is sweet with a weak bitterness in the finish. Carbonation is excessive for the style. Watery texture, medium bodied. Not bad for a heineken product but boring.

CEZ (391) - Milano, ITALY - MAY 16, 2003
Orange colour, short head. Weak malty aroma. Caramel and roasted grains in the taste, with a decent hop bitterness. Aftertaste is malty, slightly smoked. Still a bit bland, maybe, but an OK beer.

Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - AUG 21, 2005
Bottled, in a sexy café in Oia, Santorini, Greece. </br> I’ve seen this beer in the strangest and most out of the way places. I last saw it in a town on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. A reddish beer that tastes the part in a fizzy way. Rusty sharp flavours hide the 5.6% ABV. You don’t even remotely notice the strength until the beer is just about gone (which in some cases may not be that long I admit). I didn’t care that much for it on this occasion. A little too acidic for my palate with rather thin body and short palate. A curious rate out on the point of Santorini.

emotv (338) - Izmir, TURKEY - FEB 16, 2009
Tasted from a bottle from market. Amber colur pours to red. Medium head. Caramlized tasted on tongue. But mouthfell is poor and not stay so much afterwards. Kind of like weak ale.

TheGrandMaster (2313) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 4, 2007
Bottle, poured a clear red/orange colour with a thin bubbly yellowish head. A toasted malt aroma with a mix of molasses and coffee bean. A little astringent in the mouth and some light malty flavours with a decent hop kick. OK, but a bit sharp.
