Beerish taste still present in this guarana-flavoured energy beermix. Chilled, it’s actually quite enjoyable..! I’m beyond being a purist beer snob, so if you’re a bit open-minded, just give it a try...

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2006 THis was a new sort of beer for me. It smells like all those energy beverages, which do not smell to good, but tasted better, although not like beer at all.

Bottle at one of chris o’s tasting about a year ago. Alround rating: Peachy syrupy sweetness, very sweet, but the red bull character is attractive for me. I must have been out my mind at the time of rating.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!)
Poured a very pale yellow body with lively carbonation and a persistent white head. Intensive, but not unpleasant aroma of Red Bull. The taste is more of the same; Red bull, light sweetish maltiness, even some weak hop. Not a great beer but remarkably good for what it is. Very drinkable, not too sticky and that makes it by far the best "energy beer" that I’ve had so far.

Can 0,5ltr: A Red-bull like fruity low-alcohol beer, kind a sweet taste and sweet smell.

Yellow color, smells like herbs and candy, tastes like a lollipop, not alcohol enough, not bad.

bottle 33cl, a clear yellow beer with almost no head but heavy carbonation. Nose is intense on guarana near a red bull smell. Aroma is very sweet, fruity on lemon, guarana and bubblegum. Not bad to hide the alcohol but far from natural beers, intense aspartame finish ...

indigo bottle (330ml). -Piss coloured, small airy white head, lively carbonation, Red Bull nose. The taste is almost the same; Red Bull with some maltiness and weak notes of hops. Drinkable and surprisingly unoffensive energy beer.
