Style: European Strong Lager

#100: I learned from this bottle you have to be patient and pour very gently or a else a huge monster foam will build up, and wont break down. White and thick head at first but the head will shrink to a thin foam and cover the beer through out the drink. Has a murky orangish yellow hue with little amount of bubbles and i did spot some sediment floating. Nose is of hops and a mild floral aroma. A minimum of lacing does occur. Flavor has some nectar, orange citrus, honey and a raw dough taste. Malt and hops are perfectly reflected while drinking and are balanced respectively.

Medium sized soapy looking head of large bubbles. Head diminishes slowly. Strange aroma. A little floral with corn flakes, bread and some strange vegetable. Color is a medium golden orange. BIG malt backbone which works great with this brew. Offsets the big floral hops presence nicely. Thick and creamy in the mouth with a bit of bread. Good bitterness also. Alcohol is hidden very well in this brew witha nice bitter finish. Going to have a great time finishing off this one. Really cool ceramic bottle.

750ml Bottle Pours a hazy medium light amber. Very nice thick creamy head that is very persistent. Extremely thick chunky lacing. Aroma is quite nice, lightly fruity, hopy and of sweet bread. Flavor is a much stronger hops that the smell huinted at. But also quite sweet. Honey and light malts. The comercial desctription nails it when it says hedonistic mouth feel. Rico....Suave’... Finish is a fairly sharp hop bitter taste. A bit much for me but I supose good for the style. Yummy.

Tastes like a cross between Fred, malt liquor, and a pale ale. Nose is really fruity with raisons and plum. Head is frothy, retains for a while and leaves very nicelace. Color is hazy medium yellow-orange. Taste is sweet raison and some bread at first and fades to herbal dryness. Palte is medium to full wuth some syrupy viscosity. Very interesting and worth a try.

Cloudy gold w/ fluffy slightly off-white head. Relatively big aroma of Saaz hops & sweet, bready malt. Medium, soft feel. Fresh, clean malt flavour w/ a extremely long & bitter finish. Not overly complex.

Clody yellow/gold body, nice creamy off-white head (and good lasting). Saazy citrus aroma with some bite. Bitter soapy taste with some strong and sweet but astringent citrus hops. Full bodied. Nice and powerful... kind of a mix between an imperial IPA and a pilsner. Very good!

A sour, yeasty aroma, like a Gueuze and Belgian Strong together. Hazy apricot, slim white head. Flavours of grapefruit, malt, and yeast like a Saison. Very dry, yet refreshing. Most Unique! Many Thanks rudolf.

Awesome bottle, too bad what comes out of it smells of urine and has a very bland flavor. I didn’t experience the blast of hops that other reviewers did. I hope I had a bad bottle, because I was expecting a lot more. Will try again to be sure.
