2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Golden coloured body with a touch of white head on top. Aroma of strong alcohol, malt, metal and perhaps a bit of citrus. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive metallic flavours with a bunch of malt, a tiny bit of hops and some very very mild sweetness (fruit) flavours. Aftertaste is decent - not too strong, but a lot of alcohol is noticeable. Overall, a decent beer, considering the options, but not so great in the overall scheme of all beer. I sampled this from a 50 cL can purchased at a small convenience store in London, England on 13-December-2008.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, World of Beer (Carrollwood, FL). Poured a clear, golden amber color with an off-white head. Fairly mild aroma of grain, grassy hops, and a touch of honey sweetness. Flavor was somewhat mild as well, mostly alcohol, caramel malt, and a bit of hop bitterness in the finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
50cl can, bought in London. Pours dark gold with a medium head, malt, fruit and alcohol aromas, mid-bodied with notes of biscuit, peach and grassy hop, sweet but not cloying, gentle bitterness on the finish. Chewier than a lager, but lighter than the alcohol strength would lead you to expect. Not outstanding, but very drinkable and better than I expected.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle: Poured a deep golden color lager with a medium bubbly head with minimal retention and light lacing. Aroma of adjunct is kind of gross with loads of residual sugar. Taste is also dominated by adjunct and sugar which does not make for an interesting drink. Body is quite full with an oily feel and medium carbonation. Light notes of fusel alcohol are perceptible. I don’t see myself drinking this again in the near future.
