Bottle, bedst før 14.06.23, found in my stash unexpectedly. Oops, my bad for letting it expire. And thanks HP! Slightly misty brownish-golden body, bit muddy, maybe some oxidation, but I see others describing it as such. Heavy, spicy ginger aroma, light caramelly malty undertone. The taste is still clean and oxidation-free, yay! Caramelly, sweetish almost candyish maltiness mixes with spicy ginger, sweetish, ending with a solid burn. Basically, it's a hopless beer with ginger that would be less interesting by miles if not for the pleasant, strong, yet fairly well balanced ginger notes. I have to go against the grain here! I mean... dunno, it might have leaned out here with time, as it's definitely not too sweet for my tastes. Maybe it actually does get better with age, hah!

4/XII/22 - 50cl bottle as a gift, shared @ Dennis’ place, BB: 14/VI/23 (2022-1714) Thanks to Arno for the bottle!
Little cloudy amber to light orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: quite some ginger all right, pisces, ripe banana, yeasty. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, ripe banana, yeasty, spicy, lots of ginger, almost a ginger burn as a matter of fact. Aftertaste: sweet and spicy, yeast touch, lots of ginger still. Good ginger beer, I do like ginger of course, so it’s hard to do me wrong with a ginger beer, even if it’s too sugary like this one.

Fles gedeeld door Inoven. Het is een troebel oranje bier met weinig tot geen schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gember. De smaak is vreemd zoet, gemberwortel en bitter.

Flesje gekocht bij Lidle en gedeeld met Tomhendriksen. Roodbruin troebel bier met weinig schuim. Aroma van gember. Smaak is zoet met veel gember. De smaak van de gember blijft (te) lang hangen.

Klare goldene Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Im Geruch präsentiert sich schon der Ginger, der im Geschmack dermaßen überhand nimmt das dieses Bier sehr unangenehm wird. Dazu kommt eine präsente Bitterkeit. Mittlere Süße mit hoher Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

Die große Olvi-Brauerei braut diverse Biere für LIDL und diese werden unter dem TItel Karlens auch in den österreichischen Fillialen vertrieben. Dieses komische Ingwerbier war mit großem Abstand das grauslichste Bier des Verkostungsabendes. Es ist intensiv bitter mit chemischen Ingweraroma und riecht richtig chemisch-falsch. Einfach nur unangenehm und absolut nicht zu empfehlen.
