Pour is a copper with a huge white head. Aroma is small amount of caramel and malts. Flavor is totaly weak. some malts are there but nothing else is there. A cheap beer and it taste like it.

Bottle. Light amber color, much more lighter than I had thought it would end up being. As another user said, it is best when cool, not cold. Malty flavor is powerful, and nice.

Bottle. Rich amber beer with an off-white head. Low spicy/earthy/sweet malt aroma. Light caramel flavor with some spice. Medium body. Lingering sweetness. Not bad, but a bit too sweet.

Pour is red with a white fizzy head. Aroma is quite hoppy for an irish red, also some rye shows up. Flavor is a burnt malt with a touch of zesty hops. To bad the hops are pretty much hidden. Amping them up would make this a better brew. Overall this is just so-so and nothing special.

Pour is a very clear yellow with a white fizzy head. Aroma is grainy and sweet. Flavor is grainy and bland. Nothing really going on here. When drinking a beer i don’t want anything ordinary and this one says it right on the frikking bottle. It did only cost 80 cents for a 12 oz..

A good Irish ale. Although it has a light red color and little head, it is full of aroma and flavor. The aroma is malt and smoke; like an oatmeal stout. Flavor has more malt; a little sweet, some burned popcorn. Purchased at Trader Joe’s, St. Louis Park, MN.

Much better than I expected. Cloudy and dark gold. Quickly fading head. There is no sediment however, so maybe it is filtered. Tremendous banana aroma; rarely have I had a hefeweizen with more banana aroma than this. Some citrus as well. Flavor is good but not as good as the aroma. Sour citrus and somewhat sweet wheat flavors under that. A little bit thin. They are half way there with this beer. Make it a little sweeter and a give it a heavier palate and it will be a world class hefeweizen. Purchased at Trader Joe’s, St. Louis Park, MN.

They are not so far off from what a Bohemian Pilsener should be. They got the appearance and aroma right. Good, considerable carbonation and a tall white head. Some hop and malt aroma. Flavor lacks bite and, flavor. The flavor is too light, and what is there is too dry. But it isn’t bad and fairly pleasant on a humid day. Purchased at Trader Joes, St. Louis Park, MN.

A hazy brown beer with a red shine underneath a very fast disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of berries, as well as lighter notes of wood and herbs. The flavor is sweet again with strong notes of berries, which gives it a slight acidity that bites lightly in the throat, combined with lighter notes of wood and herbs. It reminds me somewhat of a Flemmish Sour. I find the body thin inspite of the 9% ABV. I find it solid, but I’m not blown away by it.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours slightly hazy reddish brown with a rather rough, off-white head. Extremely fruity nose. Full, sweet body with tons of fruit and dried fruits and some very sweet accents of brown sugar. Rather lovely - but over-carbonated as always from Unibroue. 240706
