Finally 2000+ ratings in I wind up trying a beer from Luxembourg, a country which has eluded me so far. Pours a light dark amber with an orange hue, crystal-clear with not that much off-white head. Nose is sweet caramel extracts, metallic, light malts, smells tampered with, light fake fruit,… Taste is sweet caramel extracts, sweet cheap grains, additives, lightly metallic, light nuts, metallic toffee, sticky herbs & some light fruits. Lightly fizzy body with noticeable extract. As you get it, a macro beer with lots of caramel extract & probably some other additives as well to dress it up. Actually not bad for what it is but you have to get past the metallic nature & over additives. Drinks away easily. According to the bottle “A bottle with Luxembourg’s character reserved for grand occasions.” Which is only the case if you are used to chugging pale lagers etc. which I assume is the target audience. It does its job. I am not complaining & way more enjoyable than expected. (33 cl. bottle as Diekirch Reserve picked up @ a Carrefour in Brussels. BBF 24/05/2013. Consumed @ home.)

swing top bottle 330ml. -Clear amber coloured, almost no visual carbonation, small off-white head, light caramel nose. Sweet malty, light grainy and quite sugary and syrupy taste with random bitterness in the finish. Not bad, just too sweet.
