0,5 l can from a swedish food store of an IKEA.
Amber-reddish beer with a small lacing off white head. Caramel and malt both in the aroma and flavor, some mild hop and fruitiness. Drinkable but you cannot say any exciting about this beer...

500 ml can. Dark reddish brown colour with a tall fluffy off-white head. Crystal clear and the head clings to the glass. Clean aroma with a hint of münchenermalts. Quite dry with just a hint of dark malts. A little drying bitterness in the finish. Well-balanced and clean, but boring.

0.5 l can my friend Matej brought from Germany, thanks! It poured reddish brown body with tiny head that even couldn’t stay up long. White grapes, some caramel aroma, slightly sourish and vinous. Bitter and very slightly sour flavor rather than sweet, some caramel and wood. Thin bodied with very short, interestingly, sweetish caramel finish. Shows also some bitterness here. Fine in a special way but oh so watery.

Clear brown in color. Slightly sour, malty, caramel, and some chocolate. Finish is slightly bitter and cocoa. Thin body. Pretty boring but it is easy to drink.

Can. Didn’t like this one. Strange mix of hops and spices with a bad chemcial touch.

UPDATED: SEP 16, 2007 Canned 0,50L. Creamy and adherent brownish head, good persistence. Dark scorched red color; lightly hazy and much fizzy one. Roasted flavor, lightly metallic. Decidedly bitter scent with notes of toasted malt and caramel. Prickly and round taste, good alcoholic tenor. Discreet end with a bitter and sweetish mixture rumors.

50 cl can, from Ikea Nottingham at Anton and Anneen’s. Dark brown, cola looking appearance. Sweet aroma with some spice background; sweet flavour with a nice depth.

redish brown color with a tan foam. Roasted and malty notes. Medium body with a metallic, wet cardboard finish with some bitterness.

Can, rated from backlog. Aroma malty and bready,metallic hints. Taste is sweet and thin with same notes.

Was excited when I got this as a present, but when I poured it out it looked more like a cola than a beer. While it didn’t taste like a cola, it wasn’t much better. Strange tin-like quality and other off flavors masking anything good under it all.
