<b>Can, 500 ml, 18.7 P</b><br />
<b>Appearance: </b>Pours strongly hazy, yellowish golden body with very gentle saturation and very weak carbonation, almost all carbonation goes to head, head is initially quite big, white but almost slightly off - white, very firm, thick frothy, slowly decreasing to medium and giving some lacing.<br />
<b>Aroma: </b>Strong and focused malty sweetness coming at front but there is accompaining alcoholic accent characteristic for a Malt Liquor, even though the content of alcohol is so high it’s not felt as such even when the beer gets warmer. Some sweetness mixed with kind of dusty and flowery to floral hoppyness.<br />
<b>Flavour: </b>Front is sweet even heavy sweet, liquor like, some sugary candies especially reminding me a Polish coo - coo candy with burned caramel, spices and vodka inside. Alcohol is obviously felt but it is almost satisfyingly balanced by the candy sweetness. Notes of barley malt and flowery hoppyness covered by alcohol. What is positive is no alcohol harshness. Finish duration is moderate. Sugar added.<br />
<b>Palate: </b>Body is medium, texture is syrupy, carbonation on palate is soft, finish feel is grainy and flowery sweet with candy notes in nose.<br />
danielyabu (115), Curitiba, Brazil Nov 21, 2008 Can 500ml, ABV 8,4%.essa Euro Strong Lager holandesa apresenta espuma com aparência inicial média, coloração branca e boa formação de colarinho, com boa longevidade. Seu corpo tem boa claridade e apresenta tonalidade amarelo-escuro, quase dourado, e com luzes avermelhadas. O aroma é bem adocicado, notando-se a presença de um olfato cítrico, puxando para a laranja. O sabor inicial é moderadamente doce e levemente amargo, apresentando moderado amargor no final, este de longa duração. Seu corpo é leve, aguado e de alta carbonatação, com final fortemente alcoólico, qualidade esta última que se nota durante todo o gole, mascarando outros sabores. Apesar disso, há relativamente bom balanço dulçor/álcool. O gole é permeado por forte aquecimento alcoólico.
yespr (7779), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 21, 2008 50 cL can. Pours clear and golden orange with a slowly diminishing white head. Light cornish and mild sweetend aroma. Sweet malty flavoured with a notes of caramel. Light grainy and alcohol flavoured finish yet also with a persisting caramel malty note. liinis (506), Finland Sep 16, 2008 Dark gold clear with a minimal white head that dimishes. Very strong and super sweet and malty. JoeMcPhee (3899), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Sep 13, 2008 Why, oh why did I buy this. Pale golden. Dusty appley aroma. Estery and fusel laden. Incredibly sweet and underattenuated with a distinct saccharine sweetness. Buh... not good at all.
