Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Waitrose, West Byfleet. Standard stuff.

Bottle via Lidl, SK. Mostly malty, dull caramel, metallc. Med-thin body, med-low carbonation. Watery, not much good going on. Meh.

Nothing but cabbage and tin on the nose, has weak foam on a medium clear copper body. Flavour is boozy tin and caramel. Lingering adjuncts on the mouth. This is pretty substandard, even for a macro amber.

500 ml bottle. Clear amber, no head. Roasted malt, caramel, citrus, a bit metal, bread. Malty sweetness, light dry bitterness. Medium bodied, watery oily texture, soft carbonated, dry bitter finish. Okay.

Can. Clear amber-red body, off white head. Quite perfumey aroma. Randomberry jam, caramel malt. Alcohol?! Lifeless body, some background fullness/sweetness, but dead dry at the palate, light malty, vaguely fruity taste. Maybe 5 IBUs of "bitterness", vaguely herbal, near the finish and in the aftertaste. Little to no appeal in it as a whole. Some of the fruity/malty notes come off as nice, but are drowned in unappealing dryness. Sub par but can't hate it wholly.

0,5 Bottle from Lidl, 1,65 Euro.Surprising, unprecedented unique color - reddish, amber, but somehow different from the previous ones. Head was low, smell balanced malt, hops. Taste the same. Quality malt flavors, grainy, but feel hops too, of course not so bitter. Great, very tasty drinking beer, its carbonation and fullness are also perfectly fine. I would love to see it in other stores at other times as well.

Meglepő, eddig nem látott egyedi szín - vöröses, borostyán, de valahogy más mint az eddigi ilyenek. Hab kevés volt, illata kiegyensúlyozottan malátás, komlós. Ízre ugyanez. Minőségi maláta-ízek, gabonás, de érezni komlót is, persze nem annyira keserű. Remek, nagyon ízletes ivó sör, a szénsavassága, testessége is tökéletesen rendben van. Imádnám a hazai üzletekben látni máskor is.. Az üveg is szép.... Újra teszteléskor több volt a hab. Erős gyógyszeres komlós lecsengés!

Bottle from... not sure actually. Amber and clear with a tiny bit of head. Tiny bit of aroma as well, but there’s a bit of flowery hop that’s quite agreeable. Sharp bitterness without being over the top. A very, very basic bitter but it’s actually quite drinkable.
