V+ Energy (-2020)

Bottled. Clear, yellow beer with a small white head. Both aroma and flavor is mostly Battery or Red Bull-like, (or like any other similar energy-drink) with some maltiness in the flavor. There’s probably some demand for this thin-bodied drink, but why not pour some vodka in the energy-drink instead? Don’t ruin beer this way. (061228)

Bottle. Sweet smell of energy drink. Almost water colour, small unstable head. Tastes almost like Red Bull or something, but the mouthfeel lets on that there is also beer in this. The late aftertaste also reveals some beerlike bitterness, though not pleasant. Tastes OK at the beginning, but after half a bottle, it gets sickening.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a creamy head. Incredibly cheap pop-like nose. Or perhaps like Red Bull? Very sweet, no body, no bitterness. This is a soda-pop - and a decent one if that’s all you expect. 280705

Süßer Gummibärchenantrunk, der zu 100% nach Energy Drink und 0% Bier schmeckt. Zu süß, für mich untrinkbar. 5/4/7/4/5/4

Lets say something nice first: Initially it actually looks like a beer - granted its quite pale and the foamy head disappears after 5 seconds. The aroma is terribly strong somehow - the chemical aroma of a taurin/guarana energy drink reaches me where I sit even though the glas is almost a meter away. The sweet sugary energy drink dominates, the only remains of the beer are a light bitterhop exit. Oily mouthfeel, cloying sweet chemical aftertaste.
