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.

Can, 0.5l. Pours clear golden body with medium sized soapy white head. Despite poor head retention it does leave some lacing. Smell is very sweet and malty, notable presence of sugar, wood and alcohol. Medium body with very thick and oily texture, softly carbonated. Combination of malty sweetness and alcohol bitterness. Boozy mouthfeel with alcohol burn on the tongue. Aroma of malts, yeast, sugar, syrup, caramel, wood and alcohol. Lasting finish, dry and boozy, followed by sugary mouthfeel. Overall, quite good.

500ml can, another local shop bargain in Bidart. Pours clear pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas of astringent malt, dirty lemon, light spice and booze. Taste is sweet honey malt, more lemon, faint spice. Not that boozy on the taste. Astringent finish.
