2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20UPDATED: JUN 16, 2005 (Bottle 30 cl) A beer in an octagonal bottle looking like a pre-revolution French perfume-bottle. Wauw, this is very fancy indeed. On that background it’s a pity Le Coq hasn’t bothered putting a decent beer in this hot looking container. The beer itself is an ordinary lager. Pale, decent head, slight sweetness and a very subdued bitterness. Very easy to drink and pleasant as such, but again - just an ordinary lager. Twist-off top. 080903
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Well, the bottle is cool. The beer is watery, boring, uninspiring. Have I mentioned that the bottle is cool?
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Pours clear pale golden with airy white head. Faint aroma of yeast and hops. Slightly bitter, hoppy flavour, otherwise very, very watery. Dryish finish. Rich carbonation. Boring as hell.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
300ml Bottle (The Cave, Glasgow):
Very little in the way of an aroma, there is some dry, grassy hops and some malts with a touch of sweetness. Pretty basic and slight bit of citrus.
Clear, light yellow, straw colour with not much in the way of a head. There is some fine, white lacing on top with a sort of bubbly look to it.
Sweet malts and dry, grassy hops taste that is very average and bland. There is a touch of citrus with some corn too.
Light bodied, slightly grainy and very dry with medium carbonation. Quite a thin and almost watery feel with touch of bitterness towards the end but not a lot.
Cheap tasting pale lager that is exactly what I had expected going in. The beer is inoffensive and fairly easy to drink although there is touches of grain and some skunk that are slightly off-putting.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled , nice new country rate, clear yellow pour with pretty good grain and fruit flavor, much better than expected for how long this has been here
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle says that it contains malted barley, passed me by. Light in colour, thin head that diasppears quickly. Dry taste which is about the only notable characterstic. Easy to drink but doesn’t really stand out from the croud
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pour from a 10.1 oz bottle. Pale golden color, thin white head, mild skunky aroma, dry taste. Meh.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Active golden/yellowish beer with a light aroma. The flavour is lightly dry and plain. Overall an average lightly dry premium strength lager.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Pours a mostly clear yellow with a finger of white head. Settles quickly with minimal lacing. Smells like sad apple juice, mild, slightly bitter, hint o’ malt. Flavor is mild, bready, malt, grain/cereal. Bland and drinkable. Moderate carbonation, very light body, and watery texture. Not much to say other than a disappointing pale lager.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance is golden with a slight haze. Aroma is malty and flavor is malty with a champaign finish smooth almost creamy.
Thinker
1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
UPDATED: MAY 4, 2013 Tasted 23/4/2013 330ml bottle. Poured a clear pale golden colour with a thin white bubbly head that laced poorly. Low carbonation - a few small bubbles. Aroma faintly of sour mash malt. Taste of sour mash/malt. Light body. The best part of this taste was the lovely looking octagonal pyramid brown bottle.
