Like all Cobra beers, Cobra Bite is brewed using the finest possible ingredients – in this case a unique blend of barley malt and yeast with rice and hops making them extra smooth and highly drinkable. After brewing, 100% natural fruit extracts are added to the beer before filtering. Cobra Bite is breaking new ground in the beer industry and establishing a completely new category of ‘fruit-flavoured premium lagers’. These are the only lagers in the UK market with 100% natural fruit extracts added after brewing, making them less challenging than traditional Belgian fruit beers and a refreshing and highly drinkable alternative to recent lagers brewed with citrus hops.

Warning! Early amateur rating! There is a hint of aromatic herby lemon in this but only at the end. Otherwise it’s a bit too shandy like!

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is lemon, malts and hops. Flavour is much the same. Actually you note more lagerish notes in this one than some of the other Cobra with bites. It’s still not that pleasant though...

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fully diminished white head. Limegrass aroma. Flavour is light citrus fruity with a mild sweetness and a light herbal note I cannot pinpoint. Simple yet refreshing.

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Strange citrus-like aroma and flavor. Not bad but not very beer-like. Watery but ok palate.
