Il gusto al naso finisce sull’orzo. L’intensità olfattiva è normale e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta ed è persistente. La carbonazione è media. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Sono presenti bollicine medio-fini spinte verso l’alto e bolle grandi che rimangono ferme, aderenti al vetro. La carbonazione è media. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è medio. La struttura è sottile. L’amaro è moderato. L’intensità gustativa è leggera e la persistenza gustativa è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è secco, pulito, dissetante e semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L’aroma in bocca riporta sentori di caramello, miele, cereali e frutta secca. L’alcol dichiarato come presente non si fa sentire.

500ml can from local shop. 8%. Golden colour, with foam head leaving lacing and aroma of grain, corn, metallic. Taste is sweetish, barley, caramel, grains, with dusty, grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry warm grainy & boozy finish. OK.

Grabbed a can of this from the local offie, whilst they’d still got the 9% version in. Clear gold. Streams of bubbles. Thick, glossy topped, lasting, sticky, white head. Looks fantastic. Nose is sweet, barley sugar. Toffee malts. Light, grassy hop. Taste is syrupy sweet. Chewy mouthfeel. Drinks fairly easy, though. Glad I’ve chilled it right down, mind you. Couldn’t manage this less than icy cold. Finishes chewy, malty sweet. Very light bitterness right on the close. Surprisingly drinkable.

8.8% version brewed at Lion in Sri Lanka. Pours a clear gold with some lacing, white head. Nose has corn, candy, fake pineapple juice, yeast, booze. Flavor has more of the same, corn, booze, some trashy pepper notes, some cheap pineapple candy, booze. Finishes boozy. Just doesn’t need to be 8.8%

Can 8.8%, Asian version. Clear golden, rocky white head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour is very sweet malty, just barely masking the alcohol. Crude.

Can in HK, 8.6%. Sweetish grainy beer. No bitterness, only grainy sweetness, nothing more.

Not really expecting to enjoy (or finish) this one, but it’s a storied beer. Can, very cold. Gold with a white head that never quite gives up. Aroma is booze, hay, overripe grapes, some lemon and herbs, hints of firelighters. Taste is not so bad. It’s very sweet but underneath the alcohol is grainy malt that’s around clean enough and some herbs. Bitterness is crude but not that strong and keeps it just about sippable. There is a lot worse of this sort of thing.
