Bottle from Wittich. Pours clear golden. Aroma is rubber, burnt bread crust, a bit of butter. Body is light and thin, mostly carbonation, a bit of grass and butter. Quite bitter over a weird sweetness. Not the worst.

Clear brownish. Aroma is earth even clay caramel herbal hops metallic. Taste is sour carbonation with some malty sweetness and lots of squeaky nutpeel. Sour finish with some sweet malt wort. Leaves a chalky texture on the tongue. Actually drinkable. Still a little suspicious. Interesting.

330ml bottle into glass. From ALDI, Riverwood. Pale amber beer with large fluffy head which fades, light carbonation. Nose of lychee and Plasticine. Quite viscous with a light fruity finish. Flatter and fruitier than most SE Asian lagers. Not bad at all.

Op 25-6-18 op een leuk terrasje in Dali. Bruine kleur, goede zoete smaak. Er zou rijst in zitten, apart, maar geslaagd dus.

Bottle (thanks ch-303). Pours pale yellow. Aroma is grains and cardboad. Flavor is sweet and bitter, grains, cardboard, malt, some rice maybe. Carbonation is high. Overall: not a horror.
