Can (thanks Jukka K.!). Yellow colour without a head. Aroma is floral, some honey, mild grainy tones. Flavour is grainy, fruity, some stomach acids and quite much alcohol. Aftertaste is a lot of alcohol.

Pours clear , cristal clear pale blonde . Small white head. Peach yoghurt . Chemical and completely hiding the 11abv . Talk about fuck-you-up-juice. Taste is sweet, medicinal, malt liquor, boozy, metallic touch, chemical burn , peach yoghurt, chemical sugars, cloyingly sweet. Aftertaste is a long lasting punishment - hatred for humankind has never been more peachy. When dying of thirst, and presented this beer, I might actually prefer dying in peace.

Smooth mild beginning. Slightly grainy with a great malty dark back. The sweeteners are present, malty caramel, slightly roasted with a sweetish, slightly sweetener present aftertaste. Nice but I don’t like chemical sweetener in my beer.
