4.0 sehr intensiver malziger Geschmack. leicht süß.
1.7 Can. Golden, weak foam. Aroma: esters, malts, a little apples and seeds. Taste: spirituous, strong, malt, slightly apples, sad.
2.3 Gold with a white head. Malty aroma. Sweet, boozy malt flavor. Very one dimensional. A Dutch malt liquor. Not interesting enough to re-visit.
1.6 the beer has got a deep golden colour with a steady head and smooth body. Aroma of malt and bread. Taste of malt, caramel, bread. Metallic finish.
1.7 F: average size, snow-white, average retention. C: gold, clear. A: malt, grainy, caramel, corn, hint of diacetyl. T: malt, caramel, white sugar, alcohol, medium body, medium carbonation, cheap beer to get drunk and nothing very special at all but to be honest a little better than Maximator, 0,5l can from Carrefour hypermarket in Hazebrouck, France.
2.3 In my opinion, this is better than most of the scores would lead you to believe. It pours clear golden with a medium thick white head. The aroma and taste have raisins and stone fruits. Altogether too sweet, but the flavor is otherwise interesting. Good carbonation produces the generous white head. Sweet in the finish.
1.7 Bottle, uk import, source not noted, historic rating. Pours golden with a medium sized white head. Aroma is of alcohol, malt and hop. Drinkable. Just.
1.9 50cl can. Pours clear deep golden colour with a huge most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of strong grainy malt, glue, alcohol. Taste of sweet and strong malt, very grainy, a bit alcohol, meh...
1.6 Well. Another trash only useful to get drunk without class. Can’t say if i prefer this one or the "classics" from Bavaria but anyway both sucks badly. Only thing to taste here is warm alcohol, no aroma, no surprises, just alcohol. But I guess you know what you’re in if you picked up this one at your local store. Eww. PARTIALLY APPROVED BY TAVERNY’S BLACK METAL CREW!
2.1 Blik gedeeld met TomHendriksen. Goudgeel, helder bier. Het schuim is vrijwel onmiddellijk weg. Geen aroma. Smaak is zoet, honingachtig met een vleug van appel. Nasmaak is bitterig.
3.1 Bier gedeeld door Inoven. Het is een honing kleurig bier met weinig schuim het heeft een zoete smaak met een vleugje appel.
1.5 I drank this beer in an ICE going to Karslruhe, thanks Mathieu for this disaster. This beer is not good, articial, really sweet, metalic, alcohol, just to become drunk without class, a bit watery, beurk!!!!!!
3.5 Lekker zoet biertje met een honing smaak je merkt niet dat hij 8 % is.......
2.9 Aroma: Nauwelijks Appearance: Helder Taste: Zoet, lekkere smaak Palate: Gladjes Overall: Lekkere smaak
1.4 500ml bottle. Pours clear golden with medium white head. Aroma of malts and caramel. Light body with soft carbonation. Taste is mostly sweet and alcohol. Nevermore.
2.3 Malt and alcohol in aroma Extremely sweet in finish With alcohol flavour Very subtle malt or hop felt Simply too sweet.
2.0 Bottle at Istanbul Airport. I got this hoping it was a doppelbock from the -ator name but was disappointed! There isn’t much I can say about this - its basically a special brew and largely devoid of flavour.
2.0 At a tasting, thanks, 8%, smallish bubbly head, clear quite dark yellow color, nutty fruity malty aroma, very sweet fruity honey drops aroma with some almonds. Drinkable but not really something you should invest in.
2.7 Bottle brewed in Russia with 7% ABV. Clear golden, low white head of weak retention. The nose is grainy, sugary & vinous. Medium body. Oily texture. Alcohol relatively well hidden. Empty taste with grainy notes. Very clean. Low bitterness only in ending.
1.4 Can in Yuvalim. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of cardboard, corn, rubbing alcohol, sanitizer. Sweet flavor with caramel, cardboard, corn and bitterish hot alcohol. Mouthfeel is quite boozy. Bad.
2.0 Golden colored, small white head. Aroma is of sweet syrupy caramel and sugar, some candy fruits, maybe bit grassy, and alcohol of course. Taste is medium sweet candy caramel, bit grains, sugary, low+ grassy bitterness, alcohol. Medium bodied, syrupy, soft carbonation. Sweet and alcoholic artificial beer but I know I’ve had a lot of even worse "Mitsne" in the ex-SSSR countries...
1.1 Honestly this was pretty awful but I guess taste isn’t really the point. Strong sugar alcohol flavor.
0.5 Blonde « extra intense » dixit le brasseur… Cannette en édition limitée au dessin du voilier plus grand, avec l’annotation « tempête » … (on pourrait dire : dans un verre d’eau …). Boisson aux bulles nulles, à la mousse très collante, au nez avec une note de vermouth (!?), au goût très métallique, à l’arrière-goût sur des haricots verts non cuits, à la longueur qui ne signifie rien, à l’alcool sans intérêt qui regarde passer le bateau. CONCLUSION : Navigator a tort, et même à travers … Il traverse la cotation comme une inondation, assez proche du zéro, tout comme l’eau … La tempête était bien dans un verre d’eau … CQFD.
2.7 Tja, zoetig, moutig, nadruk op alcohol. Weet niet wat ik er van moet vinden. Was best wel aangenaam om te drinken, maar een echt lekker biertje? Middelmatig.
2.2 Can - clear pale yellow, slight carbonation with frothy white head which slowly subsides. Only slight aroma, ok in mouth and tongue but not good taste - not taken by this one at all.
1.5 OK it is a count, but never again. Mainly alcohol there, not realy beer taste. (Rouen 201507)
2.6 Shared 500 ml can in Greece. 8.0% alcohol is partly hidden. Overly sweet. Amber-apricot colored body.
2.8 500ml bottle. Russia-brewed 7% version. Pours transparent gold with a small white head. Bready and slightly boozy aroma. Unlike a lot of strong beers it isn’t overpoweringly sweet. Very smooth, just don’t let it heat up too much.
1.6 Rating from old notes, tasted many years ago. This was a typical cheap Euro strong lager with golden blonde colour, cristal clear with a thin, snow white head; very obnoxious corn presence in the aroma, chemical (burning rubber), sugary onset, industrial caramel, metallic, practically no hops discernible, finish dominated by chemical off-flavours and a wry alcohol presence. Petrol for alcoholics, as usual in this style.
4.4 Can from a market in Ankara, one of the best strong lager in Turkey. Has much alcohol and nice malt aroma, it’s for men not boys.
