White Lightning

Can (500ml). Poured a super clear watery colour with a tinge of greenish yellow and a fizzy white head which was full diminishing. Aroma was of vinegar, sulfur, hints of apple and an odd eggy smell in the back, almost like someone let one go! Taste was insanely sweet with more sugar than apple present and some unwelcome acidic/sulfury notes. This one hid its alcohol volume well, but other than that it was a disaster.

Plastic 2 Liter Bottle. Mildly intimidating. Slight sour apple aroma, somewhat skunky. Flavor is sour at the open and overly sugary in the finish. The sugar content kind of hurts my stomach. Dangerously high abv.

Oh please pinch me so I can wake up!!!
It looks like someone has urinated into a filled water dispenser, though the bubbles that lift rapidly from the sides of the glass give it a post-mix flare. It smells mousy, hairy, a touch too much walnut puree and timber varnish. It tastes of unexcitement. Brashly carbonated, biting, light bodied, fizzy soda water with very little apple yet I clung on just hoping some juicy succulence might peek its welcome head out. Its husky, the alcohol, not hot, but just harsh. The clean spirit aftershock is bewildering. It is vinous and astringent on the swallow, crisp and carbonic, really bites in, but the alcohol is not shy at all. It leaves a mess on the palate, or is that your palate in a mess. This isn’t cider. It’s alcohol for football hooligans too young and daft, too bloody stupid but preyed upon by products like this. Nothing truly nasty, I survived a pint, but this is just evil.

The only good thing about this beer is the price tag! Gets you hammered quick, but tasted like hell!

Bought for its alcohol content and price tag. Gets you drunk quick although it’s not nice getting there.. Tastes like watered down apple drops (sweets).
