golden orange, sweet malt nose, sweet malt hint of whiskey but much sweeter despite not actually containing whiskey from what i could tell.

Brown bottle - see the illustration to the left. Light aroma of grassy hop. Sort of a lager smell. Brassy gold color. Sort of a mass produced lager color. Huge frothy white head that laces. Ok, not a lager thing. Medium body. Fruity flavor, and not a great deal of malt. Ok, it’s not lager. The sweetness tends to fade, the finish is relatively dry, and there is some bitter. There is light floral all over this. I am impressed. Based on BeerBelcher’s experience: Don’t buy it, unless it looks somewhat like the picture. Hey, it’s fun to push the wires!

Bügelverschlußflasche: Golden coloured, lacing fluffy white head; distinctive metallic touch in the sweetish-corny nose; delicate sweetish-bitter flavour, sticky MF; sweetish-perfumed-metallic finish. Gulp, a very poor brew.......

500ml bottle from Auchan, Calais. Amber colour with thick lasting off white head. Some yeast, some hop. Quite lovely malt/hop mix on this, with fresh zesty hop on finish. Some caramel. You know what? It’s alright.

Head is just a thin white film which quickly disappears. Deep yellow body with carbonation. Chemical alcohol aroma with chocolatey notes. Fruity chocolatey malt taste with chemical alcohol notes. Buttery caramel and water also detectable. Disgusting watery chemical taste lingers. This beer could probably make you glow in the dark. (0.33l bottle.)

50 cL can. Pours with off-white creamy head. Colour is clear peachy (orange into pale red). Aroma is all that one expects from a good whisky: rope, smoke, fishingboat and tar. Taste has the same but drowned in sweetness. Strange thing to blend it like that. Bitter finish. Won’t return - strange combination in taste while the aroma is promising after a strange colour.

Gold with a white head and good lacing; fresh grassy aroma; but disappointingly bland and watery, some malt, and a slightly sour aftertaste.

Bad chemical aroma. A light red beer that lacks hops and has very little character at all. Simple malt flavor. Little to enjoy in this beer.

(25cl bottle, traded with Saarlander) Hazy, slightly cloudy, light orange colour with a fluffy and persistent foamy white head. Dusty, sweet and more barley- as wheat-malty aroma, strong fruity (banana, bubblegum) and flowery, if not perfumed. Sweet flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation for a Wit. Malty, yeasty taste with strong notes of bubblegum/banana on a shy herbal background; mild malty, light spicy finish. Reminds me of some Hefeweizen from Germany.

Swing top bottle(650ml). –Golden coloured, persistent medium sized white head. Aroma is sweet malty and alcoholic with notes of cereales, honey and something odd (maybe some vegetables). Very unusual Christmas beer.
