Can at blind tasting. Gollden beer with some fizz and cardboard aroma. Pale dull malt, must be a lager. Strongish syrupy. A bock perhaps? Some citrus. Dryish finish with orange zest. Oh well, at least I got the lager bit right.

[Canned, imported to Hong Kong by Carlsberg HK (8.6%)] Golden colour, average head. Aroma of cheap plum brandy and rotting vegetables. Extremely sweet and fruity. Saccharine blends with methanol and old compost heap. Harsh chemical finish. It sure takes dedication to drink a 33cl can of this crap. I’m afraid I lack that, so I offer most of it to the Hong Kong sewers. May they forgive me.

Copper color. Slightly malty aroma. Bit malty taste, quite bitter. More like a watery bock beer.

Dark golden color, good creamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet alcoholic with grainy notes. Medium-bodied. Sweet malty, alcoholic as can be expected. Quite balanced and warming, solid European strong lager.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale amber with a small, creamy off-white head. Lightly roasted, caramelish aroma. Somewhat unpleasant potent body with the alcohol shining through. Vague notes of alcohol. Dry, hoppy finish. 221005

An amber beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, fruit, and caramel, while the flavor is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of metal and hints of wood, leading to an alcoholic end. Too alcoholic for me.

(Can 50 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a creamy head that leaves lots of laces. Incredibly sweet malt and almost no hops to balance things out. 240705

Clear orange color, medium creamy haed. Not much aroma. Smooth creamy taste, bit sour, bitter, bit sweet. Very soft and creamy.

Serve extra chilled… do you need any other detail??? Oily (sweet) Strong Lager, blond color, poor aroma, bold bitterness, alcohol punch.

Light amber color. Light aroma, quite strong body, rather sweet, correctly balanced at the end. An acceptable Strong Lager.
