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.

Originally rated April 2006. Best before date on the bottom of the can reads 05-2007. Pours a golden-caramel colour (darker than most lagers) with a white foamy head. Carbonation is under-average and retention is not bad. Dirty lacing with a nose of cereals. Medium mouthfeel. The cereal is present in the taste as well, with some mild bitterness. Alcohol is there too, but very well blended, with no burn found. No corn in this one. Quite an interesting malt liquor that is slightly different from others.

Bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Clear yellow / golden color, white head. Smell malts and sweet. Taste malts, sweet and a little alcohol. Lightly bitter perhaps. Nothing special, but decent.

A very strong beer. Taste isn’t that mindblowing though. Easy to drink, easy to get drunk off.

Can sample outside of Ahron’s kiosk. Thanks Ambar. Clear golden with a white head. Grainy aroma with cereals with a bit of sugar alcohol. Sweet grainy flavor with alcohol and a bit of sugar. Light-bodied. Shitty.

Golden colour, white head, big bubbles, diminishing fast. Smells of brew malts, some cardboard, some caramel, slightly fruity. Sweet flavour, brew malts, rather sweet and alcoholic. Cheap heavy lager, nothing really special. (can, 500mL)
