A strong lager with a brave heart. Unapologetic about its alcohol taste, yet surprisingly sweet, it’s got a dash of fruitiness and a clear bitter finish. A fiery leader among beers.

Bottle. Clear amber with a good white head. Aroma and taste of malts, booze, grains and herbs. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very alcoholic and kind of ok-ish.

0.33 l bottle. Pours golden color and minimal white head. Some malts, metallic notes, but first of all overwhelming alcoholic sweetness in aroma and taste. Medium sweet finish, light body, but due to the high ABV, it’s not so easy to drink.

330ml bottle from Tennent Caledonian Brewery Mail Order - clear amber body, short lasting white top. Heavy malt taste, grainy fruitiness, bold and boozy in the finish. Not bad for Jakey Juice.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per il fruttato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi e arancia rossa.

330ml bottle. Clear, amber colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, minimally grey-ish, white head. Mellow malty and slightly fruity aroma, hints of red berries. Taste is minimalyl toasty, mellow malty, slightly fruity, slightly alcoholic, hints of red berries, cherry, some caramel, bitter hoppy counterpart. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Flattering sweetness, quite monotonous - so-so.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with an off-white head. Nose has malts, sulphur and booze. Rich, sweet, malty body, again sulphurous from the Lager yeast. Feels pretty raw and boozy as these Strong commercila Lagers always do. 161121
