Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is yellow. Aroma and taste are sweet fruits, sugar and malt. Sweet and artificial.

Pale gold with a white lacy, soapy head. Bubblegum, plastic some fake fruit and butter. Light frothy thin body with soft carbonation. Tastes of chemicals with peach and tropical fruit. Fruit punch mixed with poor lager. I would drink Heineken over this strangeness.

Can... Why the fuck am I drinking this... Pale green artificial color. Aroma is of bubblegum, sugar and... chemicals. Flavor is very sweet, mix of bubblegum and butter, thrown into a poor lager. Dafuq...

Can @ tasting. Aroma is big artifical sweeetness. Yuck. Flavour too. Crappppy fizzy drink.

Bottle. Spicy aroma of some exotic fruits, citrus. Taste is light, refreshing, only faint notes of beer, light bodied. Average fruit beer.

Pours golden yellow with greenish hue. Aroma is fruits and sweet tones. Taste is refreshing, sweet, with flavors of banana, curuba obviously. THe basic beer taste is almost non-existent. Overall pretty interesting drink summer , refreshing and bad at all.

Can of 500 ml, at home. I had to google in order to learn what the hell a curuba is. Turns out is a sort of banana. Anyway, this is made of 80% beer and 20% curuba flavoured soft drink. I crack the can open and.. Two fingers of white, froathy head that was quickly gone. Colour is bright yellow, but you could see some green in it when hold against the light. Minimal activity in the glass. Aroma is very sweet and fruity, as expected. So, that’s how a curuba smells! Taste is quite sour but leaves a sweet aftertaste and it feels very refreshing. Only 20% of the juice managed to cover all the beer taste.On the other hand, someone who buys this one doesn’t/ shouldn’t expect a beer taste, hence the high grade. Overall, not bad at all for the summer.

#812 Hellgelb, viel Schaum. Aroma nach Eistee Marke Pfirsich-Maracuja, sehr fruchtig, aber nicht den Hauch nach Bier. Im Antrunk süßlich und fruchtig, nicht irgendwie nach Bier, obwohl dies ja immerhin 80% des Getränkes ausmachen soll!? Das herbere Tequila Flavour kommt im Nachgeschmack vor. Was soll das eigentlich? Sich pausenlos auf die Brust trommeln wegen des ach so tollen Reinheitsgebots und dann wird auf Teufel komm raus gemischt, dass nix mehr vom eigentlichen Bier übrig bleibt? Sogenannte Alko-Pops wurden strafbesteuert und Mischgetränke mit Bier und denselben Alk.Gehalt bleiben bevorzugt! Das ist Verarsche!!

Of that chemical ones from Veltins this one is maybe the best. Well, it is artificial but I like the nose of citrus and ripe lemon fruits. Nothing else at all.

Dark yellow-golden colour, low to no head. Taste of very sweet and ripe southern fruits as such as melon, papaya and oranges. Very artificial and chemistry experience, but okay to drink for a change.
