On tap. Black color with thick creamy brown head and nitro cascade. Aroma is caramellish with roasted malts and lots of licorice. Taste sweet with a sublte bitterness in the finish. Thick oily texture, no carbonation (nitro), medium to full body, not easy to throw down. So so.

clear bottle from superbrugsen enghavevej. clear caramelly brown, smooth offwhite head with a yellow hue. Aroma of sun-burned beer, macro hops, smells like a cheap spanish macro smelled 20 yrs ago when they were not that concerned about taste. Flavor is malty caramelly, faint sweet note, ends bitter, herbal hoppy bitter, and macro beer bitterish. not *that* bad, but leaves an aftertaste reminding me of vomit. I cannot rule out that the beer has been damaged due to the clear bottle.

Can’t believe this has been made/exists!!! Exclusively made for Drygate, but doubt they will have it for long.... Keg only. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is sweet, toasty, grainy, Blackpool rock and cereal. The taste is crisp, grassy, straw, cereal, creamy aspect to it and light sweetness with a dry finish. Light-medium body and average carbonation. Foamy mouth-feel. Difficult to compare to the pasteurised version, because I haven’t tried that in 10 years. Not as bad as expected - the dry finish makes it pretty refreshing. OK lager beer.
