Bison Super Strong (XXXtra Strong Lager)
Pours golden with thick white head (from bottle). Very intense fruity and boozy aroma, that reminded me of Port. Taste is surprisingly mild, given its strength, fruity. Not bad after all.

Bison Super Strong (XXXtra Strong Lager)
330ml can bought from local liquor store in Monaragala, Sri Lanka. Sadly the can design has changed and is now not half as good. Drank straight from the can so no idea on the appearance. Aroma is very strong malt and alcohol. Taste is similar. Only finished half the can due to the really sharp alcoholic taste which wasn’t enjoyable at all.

Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear yellow with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malty and that’s where the flavour is too. The as far as malt beers go its fine. At least it doesn’t have a unpleasant aftertaste.

Bottled. The Mauritian version brewed by Phoenix brewery. Bright golden body, topped with a full white head. A decent blend of hop and malt flavours, with moderate body, which by relative standards is a big step in the right direction.

Pale yellow colour. Lots of graininess, but pretyy bland and sweet in the end. Drinkable in a straight up and down sort of a way.

Kings Lager
Pale gold. Largely a floral, soapy aroma with a touch of cereal lingering in the background. Okay palate. The flavour is fairly bland, with a hint of grain and some hop bitterness clinging to the short-lived finish. Good as a thirst-quencher but that’s about it.
