ABV: 8.6% IBU: - Ticks: 112
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.

A bit darker than normal pilsener. Full flavour, candy sweet and slightly warming from the alcohol. Pleasant, clean taste but nothing special.

Can, 500 ml; expiry date: 12-2004, purchase date: December 6, 2003; eye: pale yellow, clear, a bit of effervescence, white head that collapses rapidly; nose: not much aroma, sweet and alcohol; mouth: not much taste either but drinkable, a bit of bitterness but mostly the peppery side of the alcohol, finale where the sweetness gradually envelops the alcohol, thin to medium body, slightly oily texture FRANÇAIS Cannette, 500 ml, date de péremption : 12-2004, date d’achat : 6 décembre 2003; oeil : jaune pâle, clair, un peu d’effervescence, mousse blanche qui disparaît rapidement; nez : peu d’odeur, sucré et alcool; bouche : pas beaucoup de goût non plus mais buvable, un peu d’amertume mais surtout le côté poivre de l’alcool, finale où le sucré fait disparaître graduellement l’alcool, corps léger à moyen, texture légèrement huileuse

Deep gold, lasting white head.Neutral nose.Sweet malty beer with lots of body for the style.Alcohol heat as it warms. Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, as long as it is cold

Schmeckt - wie schon vermutet - wie die anderen Bavaria Biere auch wässrig. Auf jeden Fall wirkts, die 8,6% schmeckt man nicht heraus. Ansonsten schmeckts ganz gut, leicht süßlich, irgendwie lecker. Und süffig ist das ganze auch noch - wow! Test vom 17.5.2005, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 9,9,11,9,10,9 - 9,35

An orange beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is malty with distinct notes of alcohol and caramel. The flavor is sweet and alcoholic with notes of caramel. The alcohol burns in the throat.

Can. Sweet corn/grain aroma. First taste was rather unpleasant but improved as it went down. Slightly sweet malt with little bitterness.
