Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 34B). Bottle 75 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown). AROMA: predominant medium alcohol aroma with a peppery note, followed by corn/cardboard aroma with the same intensity. APPEARANCE: pale gold color and translucent. large white head with medium-low to low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with a medium corn/cardboard flavor, followed by a medium-low grainy sweet malt note. medium-low bitterness with a semi-dry to dry finish. PALATE: meidum-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a stronger pale lager with more emphasys on the corn and with a bit of oxidation.

75 cl bottle from palma clear yellow small. White head. Very mild aroma. Lager. Flavor is boozy malts with some yellow fruits and some hops. Carbonation is agressive . Tastes like a Belgian blonde pilsner if that existed.

Pours a clear glden color, topped with an avergae sized white head, quickly settling. Aroma is malty, a bit grassy with wet paper notes (though not too strong). Taste is sweet, malty, some presence of alcohol can be felt, mild bitterness. Not unpleasant, though, to be fair, nothing extra.

Dorada pajiza, algo turbia. Mucha espuma, que pronto se desvanece. Citrica, frutal en nariz. Y agradable en boca, donde mantiene un tono bastante cítrico y algo dulce, pero principalmente alcohólico. Tono de licor, potente y equilibrada. Muy buena para acompañar comidas especiadas o picantes.

75cl Bottle from a toko at Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam. As Cobra King, ABV 7.5%. Brewery not listed, distributed by Molson Ireland. Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of apples, malts, light floral. Flavour is medium sweet, light malty, yeasty, fruity, apples, champagne, bitter finish. Light bodied. Ok.

750ml bottle. Morrisons, with a quid off. Clear, pale gold. Film of white head. Very sweet, lemony, grainy malts. Bit of a Belgian yeast thing going on. Taste is sweet, and light, spicy dry. Finishes light dry. Overall it’s an oddity, and not a beer I’d necessarily have again. Ok at best.

Bottle. Nose is cereal, grassy, some fruity esters, the dreaded pilsner cardboard. Taste is cereal, some soft fruit notes, peach, marzipan, a creamy note which I guess was the rice, the a short herbal and grain finish. Mouthfeel is lager horrible. Bought because it was cheap in Morrisons, I wasn’t expecting it to have been brewed in Palm. In fairness it’s much more interesting than the souped up macro-lager I expected, but is still not actually nice in a meaningful sense.
