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.

Not bad. Slightly vinous or maybe that's just the environment influencing me

Can, cold af. Orange with a good inch of white head. Very shy aroma of light grains, sugar, a fridge that's remained empty for some time. Doesn't taste of all that much either - sweet, slightly grainy, some pears, fake caramel syrup, toothache. Low bitterness. Alcohol is surprisingly well hidden. Hard to rate - it's clearly well made and there's little that's really nasty about it. But there's nothing good either.

500 ml can, from a SPAR shop in Funchal. ABV is 8.6%. Clear golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma, notes of banana, a hint of soap. Moderately sweet flavour, notes of banana again. Moderate hops.

Can bought in Madrid. Golden and mostly clear with white head. Grainy and lots of alcohol burn. Corn and a bit of fusel alcohol as well. Not terrible.
