0.33l bottle, Thunderbolt Lager Beer, 5%. Fot the italian market, but bought in a indian shop in Graz, run by some Sikh (or just some Indian that likes to wear the headgear), and his apprentice. I saw two very interesting things. A) The apprentice scrubbed the bottle vigorously with a dry rag after taking it out of the "cooler", and b) I bought it on the 19th of December of 2006, and it expired in 18.09.2006. Also, it was bottled on the 18.09.2005 (!). Haha... I got an even older bottle than ozujsko, who got his from the same shop a month befome. Ah, well... the things I do for Ratebeer... It poured a yellow colour with a medium sized fluffy head that went away very fast. The nose is reminiscent of a cheap sake, rice and alcohol. and lo! It does claim to contain rice. Surprise surprise. I hesitated... And then I took a reluctant sip. The taste is... well... not that offensive. Rice, apples, medicine, some sugary sweetness, alcohol, somewhat dry/salty. Even some weak weak hints of hop. Heh, I should probably change the style to, say, Ginjo. Not as abysmal as I thought it would be but stilly pretty damn crappy. And odd.

Bottled(330ml). -from some asian shop in Graz. Had this one before few days and best before end expired on October 18th 2006. Clear yellow coloured, airy head, malty nose. Watery, faint hoppy, salty and skunky with strong maize notes. I’ll try a fresher sample again.
