Bottle: pours gold with white head. Aroma is not horrible for what it is. Taste is boozy but nothing like the purported percentage. All in All, OK.

0,5l can shared @ Alppila. Pours clear golden with a medium head. Aroma is honey and alcohol, some malts too. Flavor is cloying sweet malts with honey and hops. Very difficult to drink after the decent aroma.

Capped 500 from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours clear copper with a transient white head. Aroma of amberish malt with spice notes. Med body at least. Flavor is the aroma with a slight hint of fusil oils. Not very sweet. Not very bitter. Surprisingly drinkable, though deadly at 12%.

500 ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear amber color with a khaki head and decent retention. Surprisingly great lacing. Boozy and medicinal malt liquor aroma. Very strong in your face malt liquor flavor with a harsh medicinal finish. This tastes like industrial cleaner mixed with beer. Hard to drink. Medium body. Slick mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Not bitter. Not good. The lacing may actually be etching my glass.

50cl green glass bottle with pry off cap pours with a crystal clear pure deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up bit of sweet apple and pear like fruity esters as well as faint booze. The taste delivers apple, pear and fig like sweet fruity esters bumping up against a sweetness cutting booziness. To midway it gets more muddled as the sweet esters meet up with a sweet off note lurking inside of the booziness. It ends as the sweetness fades leaving a kind of boozy fake sugar, saccharin and slightly chemical sensation lingering for longer than you'd like. Occasionally it seems like a meek graininess is trying to be heard. I do like how the booziness is sharp enough to cut most of the sweet estery onslaught. Not altogether terrible.
