50 cl. can @ home, gift from Rick. Golden with a thin white head. Grainy aroma with hints of aromatic herbs and spices.Taste is like any standard strong pilsener but the herbs make it stand out a little from the rest of the sub-par (Bavaria) strong pilseners. Not too bad.

Bottle from Carrefour, Nice. Bright golden-bronze with next to no head. Whatever herbs are in it do change the aroma and taste a little, although there’s nothing special about this at all. Has a notable strength.

Can. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of mint, licorice and fruit candies. Sweet flavor, candy-ish, artificial, with herbal touches - mint, licorice, anise and alcohol. Light-bodied. Yuck.

50cl can in France on snowboarding holiday. Clear golden color, full sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste are awful: herbs, spices, sweetness. Weird and totally awful. YUK, instant drainpour.

Golden colour with a white head, quickly diminishing. Aroma has malty notes and some herbal hints. Flavor is slightly sweet with some alcoholic mouthfeel.

Canned 500ml. -from Sherpa Val Claret. Ohhh, what a joy...a new 8.6 is out...hell yeah!!! Golden coloured, medium sized white head, cider and absinthe in the nose. Sweet malty, some artificial absinthe and touch of herbs. Light alcoholic also. To be honest expected something even worse.
