Bottle at The Rake with Chriso from the stuff they were selling off cheap. Attractive chestnut colour. Bit of cardboard on aroma. Some ok malts. Malty and not great, bit of a dunkel. Not horrible but not great either.

Bottle, 5.4%. Mild caramelly aroma. Quite clear amber colour. Good stable off-white head. The flavour starts off caramelly, gets a bit grainy after a while. The aftertaste is like old bread. Drinkable, but not exactly good.

This looks like its more gimmick than beer, 12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear pale gold color with a thin head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is grassy, corny and not much else. Taste is grass, green apple, grain, green banana. Medium bodied,

Robust, savory aroma of roasted meat, light peat, and shallots. Dark mahogany, no head. Immediately noticeable lack of carbonation. Charred oak flavor, alternating astringency and bitterness. Slightly meaty finish. A solid porter with character.

Weird label, skull and all. just goes to show you that skull is nothing special anymore, just a decoration for some new gen. Pour is typical pale yellow lager. Smell has some hints of blast furnace slag or my gramma’s permanent hair treatment. Taste initially comes across somewhat mildy sour or tart, wierd for a lager. Mild and easy going, some hay, some green grass but very little if any offensive attributes. Comes across relatively easy to drink and may be a good session brew, not bad for a lager lover. Finish has a very mild pilsner bite that is just barely detectable. Not bad, overall beer experience was pleasant and well adjusted.

Rather nice leathery or mild old blast furnace slag aroma. From a 12 0z pop top bottle. Crisp and clean looking pale american lager appearance. Seems a little viscous, no that must be my lager imagination. Very nice creamy tingling carbonation on the first hit. Well behaved pale lager initial attributes. Some processed after taste following each slug, but not too bad. Another big gulp and its still well mannered. Finish is ok except for the slight processed linger. Yes, certainly your typical premium beer! heheh, Reminds me of something I’d get from lion brewing so I guess its no coincidence there is a tiger on the label.

21st May 2008. A clear brown ale with a slightly sour malt and a bitterish dry finish. There is something fundamentally wrong with this beer. It’s tired and somewhat offensive!

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale yellow color with a very large white head. The aroma was sour, skunky and corny. The flavor was dryish, bitter and had moderate notes of cardboard and skunk. Short and dry finish. Yuck.
