3.9/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Pours a crystal clear gold with a medium, fizzy, white head. Aroma is floral, and sweet malt. Mouth is a bit thin, and carbonated. Flavor is metal, and hay hops. Has a dry hop finish. More hops than any other macro I’ve had, but I’m dissapointed with the overall flavor.

Medium offwhite coarse head shrinks quickly. Amber body with lots of carbonation. Light caramelly aroma. Sweetish caramelly taste with perfumy hop notes. Smooth and soft mouthfeel. Dry grassy aftertaste. Not bad, but a bit boring. (0.35l can.)

Small white head quickly disappears. Pale yellow body with some carbonation. Watery nothing aroma. Acidic chalky thin malt taste, so watered-down it’s really disgusting. Traces of hops are detectable. No aftertaste. No off tastes, but much too watery to make it drinkable, and not watery enough to make it pass as water. (0.355l bottle.)

Weak and flavorless. Horrible for an import. Virtially indistinguishable from cheap American swill.

7/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Big creamy shiny darkish beige head. Deep dark red barely translucent body with lots of carbonation. Harmonic roasty caramel and milk coffee aroma with metallic notes. Aroma is too faint for a 7. Sweetish roasty metallic taste of licorice and coffee. Slightly watery. Dry metallic coffee aftertaste. Quite nice, a bit like a mild stout. (0.33l can.)

Pours a crisp gold with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is uninspiring. Slightly sweet malts with just a touch of hops, and metal. Body is medium to light with plenty of fizz. Flavor is of sorta sweet. I don’t notice any hops, but there is some malt in it. It’s not terrible, but it’s trying.

A deep dark reddish brown with a thick moka head. Pleasant chocolate and moka coffee aroma, very nice and classy. In mouth, a nice light chocolate malt with light hopping, roasted coffee beans, light metallic notes. This could be a porter. 330 mL can from Japan, 1 year old, BB 06-07.
