Ticks: 109

8.6 is a special blond beer with its own distinctive character. A powerful and strong beer with a golden haze, pleasantly sweet and viscous in its aftertaste. Full in body giving a rich mouth filling sensation. 8.6 Original has a fruity palate thanks to a sublime fermentation process. Expressly fruity and flowery on the palate, warm and full of character. Strong in alcohol content, an elegant, clear blond beer. Complex in flavour, beautifully balanced. Brewed with natural mineral water from Bavaria’s own spring and the best barley malt, wheat and hop.

Golden colour. Aroma and taste is basically sweet malts and alcohol. Not really pleasant

Rhine river cruise 2025. Clear gold in color with a three-finger head. Aroma is slightly fruity but kind of artificial. Taste is also slightly sweet and is also artificial.
