Malty nose and taste with oily mouthfeel. Half litre can fromCora.Good lacing on the glass, but this is bordering on a malt liquor.

Golden yellow pale color, very modest bubbly aspect, discreet head duration. Metallic and alcoholic taste, very warm with a stinging malty notes. Realy, realy, realy metallic body, powerfull alcohol perception, much prickly and biting final.

8.0% gold colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma, bitter malt taste, not too bad.

Can: Big lively pretty vast head, changes with medium speed into a thin sticky lacing on top of a clear bright yellow light golden colored beer. Smell malts, soap, bleached grains, sharper grains, some fruit like pine apple and apricot,  Tastes like piss; well, how it smells when someone has eaten asperagus and takes a piss... Don’t know of this is a correct way of describing this beer, but that’s what came to mind.  There is some urinal (like smell) cooked vegetables, bad grains, unbalanced as a motherfucker! Awfull! This must be even a deathwish for bums! Aftertaste is luckily gone very quick but what I could trace in the aftertaste is some cooked vegetables, urinair drenched grains and dusty wheat. Nasty! Medium carbo, tingly light spicy mouthfeel low nasty unbalanced body and a watery texture. Bad bad bad! Stomachturning! An almost complete drainpour! One of the nastiest things I have ever tasted! Really bad!

Bottle from Vival supermarket, Montmorillon, France. Golden coloured with a sweet floral fruity flavour, tart sugary notes and a fake-chemical fruity finish.

Golden beer with a strong white head, stiff dry alcohol aroma with a strong alcohol flavour.

this smacks of CHEAP high alcohol content beer, no real depth of flavour, no lingering aromas or flavours! my feeling is that the other reviewers are extremely generous. i wont be buying this again.

33cl can. Ok white head. Clear blond pour. Ok but not great.

Bottle@Home. Ripe apples and malt aroma. Dark yellow, small off-white head, no lace. Sweet, very malty, apples, light alcoholic. I’ve had worse in the style.

Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruit as well as lighter notes of metal.
