0.5 l can from a random Tesco. Golden color, no head, overwhelming alcoholic sweetness both in taste and aroma. Nothing more.

Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma of malts, brown sugar, very little else. Medium sweetness and very noticeable alcohol presence. Not a fan of these strong lagers, they lack finesse. However, I’ve had worse beers in this style.

Bottle. Golden color. grainy aroma. Grainy sweetish flavor with hints of apple. Not too bad for a malt liquor.

Fles in Frankrijk geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een dun wit schuim. De geur is moutig, de smaak is moutig en zoet. Alcohol achtig.

Barwa złota, klarowne, piana niska, niezbyt trwała. W aromacie tragedia - spirol, rozpuszczalnik, silne utlenienie, piwnica. W smaku dochodzi jeszcze solidna dawka metalu, mdła słodowość, sztuczna jakby nuta belgijska?, do tego alkohol w najgorszym możliwym typie. Goryczka niska, za wysokie wysycenie, ledwie pijalne. Dla własnego dobra lepiej nie tykać.

Alkoholischer, muffig hellmalziger Antrunk. Langweilig und wenig ausbalanciert bleibend, steigend alkoholisch. Kurzer, minimal getreidiger Nachhall. 6/5/5/5/7/5

Klarowne, o złotej barwie. Piana gęsta lecz błyskawicznie opada, ladny lacing. W aromacie słodowy, w smaku również. Duża metaliczność, wyczuwalny alkohol.

Clear medium golden colour, large loose frothy white head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Sweet malt aroma, sweet corn, hint of citrus, light alcohol. Taste light heavy to medium sweet, light bitter, grainy, sugary. Medium body, oily to creamy texture, average carbonation, aftertaste sweetbitter, spicy notes, alcohol comes through in force in the finish. Better than expected and quite drinkable.
