Originally rated 18072012. Can 0.5l from local market. Colour is clear brown with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Grain and roasted malts.

(Tasted blindfolded) colour is like rubies red meets brown. Delicate head, quite good looking beer. Nicely laid back, soft beer. A little roasted malt flavor, with little sweetness at the end. Pleasant surprise.

Can. Pours clear dark brown with thick head. Taste is bitter, metallic and thin. Odd aftertaste.

Can from super market. Dark red color, beige head. Bitter taste with metallic aroma, citrus, toast and grass. Very thin body. Light malty finish. Not very interesting or enjoyable brew, drinkable at best.

500 ml can. Pours copper coloured with a white medium head. Aroma of metal and malts. Flavour of sweet malts, grass, metals. Semi- Sweet finish with some malty notes. nothing surprising. easy to drink.

Light aroma has bread, bit impure, metallic. This beer looks quite nice though, mahogany brown, clear. Short head but leaves lacing. Taste has sweet malt that is bit to caramel and bread, dark fruits. Bit dry, light bodied, low carbonation. Overall ok beer that does not change the universe though...not for me anyway.

50cl can. Poured dark amber, thin white head. Not much aroma here, weak caramel, toasted malt. Flavor equally hard to find, artificial, caramel sweetness. Easy to drink, even easier to forget.

Weird watery but still metallic/artificial taste with same kind of aftertaste.

Pours dark amber with a low head. Aroma is sugary with some malts. Flavor is some roasted malts and sugar. A rare case where the dark lager is even worse than the pale lager.

Pours cherry tree with no head. Aroma of sweet candy and a hint of roasted malts. Light body, flavor of malts and brown sugar. Weak lager.
