500ml can @ 8% from local store. Eye - darkish gold, foamy white head, nice retention. Aroma - alcohol, malts, sweet glucose syrup, some grain. Combined it almost smells like chemicals used for cleaning. Taste - semi-sweet, glucose syrup, malts, alcohol, slightly fruit hop - wow was not expecting that! Its not too bad at fridge temperature. Palate - full bodied with the glucose syrup to the point of being heavy and sticky. Overall - poor but I've had worse

13/11/2018. Can from my local post office stores. 8% abv. Pours golden with a foamy white head. Aroma of alcohol, malt, sweet syrup, fruit and grain. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, very sticky texture, average carbonation. Sweet, syrupy finish. Not so bad.

Can from a little off-licence in Blackwater, Hampshire, who appears to specialise in tramp juice. Fruit yeast lager aroma, with a hint of booze. Bright gold. Initially, at least, the white head is big and foamy. Slow bubbles. Sweet. Saccharine, syrup. There is some boozey bitterness into the finish. Medium bodied. A tad sticky. Soft carbonation. Astringent but abrupt finish. When I took a look at the case I wondered who’d want to drink the advertised ’half litre’. Turns out it’s me. Not a good beer but goes down easily, tramp alcopop.

Can from a Kuala Lumpur convenience store. My word, I am scraping the barrel! Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is malt and alcohol. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a light burning alcoholic palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Who drinks this stuff besides tickers ??
