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.

Clear yellow with carbonation and a smooth head. It’s aroma is lager but its strength is only evident in its taste, but not overbearing so much that you can’t enjoy it.

50 cl. can – courtesy of Martinus. Procured from Alber Heijn. Drank straight from the can in the car. Nasty metallic cough syrup, old grains, sweet syrupy, toffee, bread, odd caramel, copper, bitter herbs, bread, booze in the finish. Body is thicker, slightly nasty. Completely in the malt liquor hooch territory but more agreeable than some of the abominations that are frequently sold to perform the same task. Actually drinkable compared to some others.

Solid beer. Redish amber color with average carbonation. Taste of malt, fruit, caramel and alcohol. This was best beer of my youth. With 3 of this you could get really drunk. :-)
