50 cL bottle, thanks to Grovlam. Pours clear and with a lacing white head. Mild cornish and cardboardish note in the aroma. Flavour is much the same with a mild cardboardish and dry finish.

Canned. Pale golden, minimal head. Thin and plastic. None of the desired flavours I’d like to see in a lager. Instead there’s some pop corn and vegetables. The moutfheel is hard and aggresive. An extremely empty beer that solidifies Van Pur’s reputation as one of the worst brewers anywhere.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow with a white head. Slight dusty malt to grainy aroma, little hops note. Flavour is sweet caramel malty, mild bitterness. Ends with a light sweetness and a little alcohol note.

Pale orange-amber under good, fine-bubbled yellow/cream head. Aromatic nose with lots of alcohol, plywood, mushrooms, sweet malt syrup - and some oxydation, meseems. Total alcohol-dry taste, spirit-like, with again plywood, juniper berry, caramel and almonds. Again rather aromatic, but with the exception of the alcohol overload, not really bad. Warming up, the almondy alcoholflavour turns nasty, however. Alcoholburn, aggressive MF, if not unbalanced. Like a cheap cooking-rum, used for the sauce of a not too bad homerecipe.

Amber colour, small amberish head. Warm alcohol nose, soft sticky caramel toffees. Caramel or toffee tase, sweet, alcohol-enhanced. Retronasal something like unsalted peanuts and in the very end, a flavour like moulded orange. Sweetness becomes more and more linked with the alcohol warming up. Quite slick. Alcohol thinned, but not watery; light alcoholwarming. An ’orrible strong lager. Why am I thinking of the infamous Amsterdam range, apparently also pretty popular in Poland?

Darker metallic gold under good yellowish head. Sweet-smelling, grain, alcohol and some caramel. With the alcohol volatilizing, rather fresh-leafy smelling. Rather dry, near woody, quite malty, but with a caramelly finish, suggesting syrup - maltsyrup used? Whatever, it isn’t sweet, rather neutral and the alcohol makes it rather empty. Finishes empty after being more or less medium bodied. CO² impression, more than alcoholwarming. There’s worse. Alas.

Canned. Amberish golden colour with small white head. Aroma is malts, alcohol and smoked (!!!) wood. Flavour has some rather smoked wooden notes along with sweet malts and very sweetly sting of alcohol. Really wellbalanced for being 10%. This is kind of the reason I occasionally say European Strong Lager is one of my favourite style, as they can be very tasteful and wellbalanced.

Canned. Golden colour, mediumsized bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet malts with some slight metallic sweet hints. Flavour is rather malty with some slight hops in aftertaste. Quite sweet overall. Refreshing and quite pleasant.

Canned. Honeyish golden colour with creamy mediumsized white head. Aroma is malts, tomatosauce and bread. Flavour is bread, sweet malts and quite papery/cardboardish. Not among the worst low alco’s I’ve had.
