1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
22oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain/cereal, grape, musty. Taste is grain/cereal, medicinal/vinegar, grape-fruit, alcohol, perfumy. Helps me appreciate most of the lesser beers I had in China. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle bought in Delhi. Pale yellow to light golden in colour. Clear. Quickly diminishing small head.Fruits, vegetable, grains in the aroma. Flavour of fruits, alcohol and wet vegetable. Thin bodied. Dry. Sweetish and fruity in the and with a hard alcohol touch.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Aroma of light malt, hint of caramel. Brassy gold color with a white head that left quickly. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation that has a bite. The flavor is sort of caramel malt, in a light way. No particular hop until a little at the finish. The alcohol is noticeable; burns the tongue. I’d say this is indeed a malt liquor, and better than many produced by the American macro brewers.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hazy golden beer. Aroma is very, very cidery with a bit of unusual tobacco/musky note. Sweet and unusually caramelly character. A bit of toffee. It’s kind of strange, but in a way that’s not nearly as bad as it first appeared to be. It’s still not good, but it is at least interesting.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Sampled on 8/2/06: Corny, earthy bready aroma has some fusel alcohol and strange smoke. Pours a clear golden with a thin ring of white head. Body starts semi-sweet with some mild carbonation, earthy grainy notes, and an alcoholic finish. This is blasphemy to put the name Monk on this beer.
1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle thanks to someone. Pours with a very lightly hazed yellow body with a quick to fade white head. Aroma of bad tequila, metal, oil (motor), and slightly spicy. Flavor of wheat, metal shavings (what it smells like after welding), urine and sweat. Thin. Bad. Didn’t notice the alcohol among all the other horrible flavors.
