Probably same as the b.strong or Premium select.
33cl bottle at bar sarte.
Deep gold beer, intense colur, big white head. Nose lagery and wort, somewhat fruity.
Aroma has good amount of pilsner malts, some spoce and juicy, and a decent hops balance.
Taste initially sweetish, then an intense hoppy bitterness.
On palate is quite thick, oily texture, moderate carbonation, medium to full body, a bit sticky. Okish, whatever. --- Beer aliased from original tick of B:STRONG on 15 Apr 2012 at 10:10 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: 33cl bottle, about 1.50€, 7.6% as "Premier Select"
Dark gold beer, intense colour, small white head. Nose of saaz.
Aroma has good amount of pilsner malts, quite spicy and peppery, and a decent hops folding. Becomes "woody" and "rresiny" as it warms up. Alcohol is noticeable.
Taste initially sweetish, then an intense hoppy bitterness.
On palate is quite thick, oily texture, moderate carbonation, medium to full body, sticky lips.
Label says it’s bottled after 200 days of maturation, seems "aged" indeed. Strong pilsener, lacking of exceptional features as well as flaws.

Taste is medium malty base, nice fresh hoppy, light bready, nice balanced harmonic bitterness, medium carbonation, very drinkable, enjoyed for sure.

Draught at Bondgate Tap, Darlington. Golden colour, thin white foam head and aroma of malt, grain, straw. Taste is sweet, grainy, malty mash, with straw, and grassy bitterness. Light bodied, high carbonation, tangy grassy bitter finish. Kind of OK.

Smooth and slightly bready with some earthiness and hints of bitterness. Easy going.
