An unclear greenish yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of apples and wheat - and so is the flavor. Good for refreshment, but not much more.

33 cL bottle. Pours almost black with white short lasting head. Smell of dark roasted notes. Taste is dominated by roasted malts, elements of chocolate/coffee and liquorice. Has sweet notes and bitterness beneath the roasted taste. Very nice beer.

Golden color. The aroma is too weak. The flavor is also not special, but drinkable; medium thick body, not oily, strong bitterness, the alcohol warms a lot in the end.

They didn’t need to put such a simple drinkable Strong Lager in a fancy 75cl bottle like that.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, deep golden with a creamy, white head leaving the prettiest laces. Lightly sweet malt aroma. Nice, full body with sweet, fruity notes and quite some alcohol showing in the finish. Very subdued bitterness that only just balances the sweetness. 271106

A golden ale with a thick creamy white head. An aroma of apples, alcohol, and light malt. In mouth, a light bubble gum malt, with light coriander and sweet malt, with some warming alcohol, and light pepperyness. Medium bodied, but cloying. Can from Bieropholie import. The rest of the can went for a glaze for a chicken dish.
