0.33l can courtesy of and shared with ogivlado - thanks! Poured a paaale green body with a small white head that went away fast. Lime shows up in the nose, and sure enough, in the description on the can too, despite the name of the beer. Weak lime taste, a bit sugary. Fake. Weak. Boring. Aspartame. Dull. Stale. Again, lovely can, crap inside.

0.33l can courtesy of and shared with ogivlado - thanks! Poured a lightly darker gold-amber body with a small-medium thick white chem head. Fake oranges in the nose, pleasant though. A bit caramelly. Taste... sweet chalky fake orange, light earthiness. Not too sweet. Light notes of aspartame.Watery. Cool can, sweetener fueled crap inside. Acesulfame, aspartame, cyclamate and saccharin. Lovely.

Hazy straw colour. Exceptionally high level of sweetness. Sour lemon sherbert acidity. Unpleasant.

Aroma is sweet but chemically so. Some roasted malt present in the flavour but struggles for prominence amongst the overwhelming sweetness.

Pours a bit flat with no head retention. Slightly sweet and sticky taste. Not much flavour overall although a hint of aniseed is tracable.

The bottle looks terrible, half is written in English, the other half in German. Very zippy, but almost no head. Tastes very moldy and fermented in the background, a bit washy all the time, sourish finish. Terrible beer!

0.33l can courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!). Not as sure about this one... Anyway, poured a yellow body with a small white head that went away slowly. Malty nose (slightly corny?), some honey. Weak taste, some acidic but bitter as well dusty hopiness. Some apple. Sweetish malt. Dull but drinkable I guess.
