5.5 is the most popular sibling in the beer family. The Alec Baldwin or Michael Jackson of J.R. beers. (Sorry Tito.) Find this dry, yet mildly spicy lager anywhere people with good taste sell beer.

this was awful. There is a cooked vegetal/corny aroma and flavour that is just bad. NOrmally you would expect that in these budget crap lagers, but in this one it’s there, and its nastier than usual. And i could actuall tatse the alcohol, in a 5.5% beer, that should not happen. Just a brutal beer.

Olfactory profile of lager with prominent cereals and herbaceous hops.
Golden, clear liquid with a small effervescent foam that doesn't last.
Malty, grainy taste profile with esters reminiscent of cherry.
The hops are spicy and herbaceous and have a moderately sweet but present bitterness.
A tastier commercial beer than average.
Average appreciation!
Profil olfactif des lager avec des céréales en évidence et des houblons herbacés.
Liquide doré et limpide avec une petite mousse effervescente qui ne dure pas.
Profil gustatif malté et granuleux avec des esters rappelant la cerise.
Les houblons sont épicés et herbacés et déclinent une amertume moyennement douce mais présente.
Une bière commerciale plus goûteuse que la moyenne.
Moyennement appréciée !

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

0.341 l bottle from the brewery's German web shop. Clear, pale golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly malty and a little floral aroma of grains and some straw. Gently sweet, slightly malty, moderately bitter and minimally floral taste of grains, some corn and a touch of straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Drinkable but fairly bland lager.

Hui, in der Nase schön richtig derbe künstlich, Fusel. Optisch helles Gold, kein Schaum. Im Trunk fürchterlich künstlich, metallisch, süß, Pfui.

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012. Second crappy lager in a row after the Hanoi Premium one. This one at least is just totally blant, but not offensive liek the previous one. Mosly malt, grainy, some flowery notes.
