Aroma of slightly sweet malt. Somewhat hazy, copper tinged, gold color. The white head went quickly, but left spider web designs on the surface. Starts with what I can only describe as light iodine, followed by an interlude of clean flavor, ending with something more like creosote than anything else that comes to mind. After a few more trys it becomes more like a regular lager with herbal components. I don’t think it’s skunked, nothing like that. It’s just different, and I suspect it would go really well with spicy foods. I’d say it’s more for pairing with food than for casual drinking.

[Bottled] Golden colour, no head. Some estery artificial strawberries jumps at me at the first sip.It has a rock hard crystal malt character only interrupted by some sticky rice. No hops can be detected.

Bottled 06/2004, 650ml
Golden color, small white head. Aroma of malts and diacetyl. Light body. Malty, lots of butterscotch. Lousy standard lager.
