Very little aroma, faint bit of malt and alcohol. Taste initially is pretty bland. It is all in the aftertaste. The burn shall we call it. Alcohol burn as it goes down your throat because of the 10%. Taste is metallic and sweet if that’s possible. It’s one of those beers that if you need to get drunk fast you pound one down. I can imagine a bunch of young brits throwing one back before going out, much like Americans would hit the Schlitz.

Despite what Myke says, and I respect his opinions, either this is a far better beer than he rates it or I’m a rubby (must be a Canuck term, eh?). Head was white and foamy but nothing remarkable, sweet bugger all in the way of lacing; aroma was oddly almost nil given the "grunt" of this stuff. Colour was unfortunately urine-like. Taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste were far better. Look for me chugging down one of these next time you’re in back of Victoria Station (or any other Brit lush hangout).

Can: Poured a golden color with white head. Aroma is alcohol. Taste was over the top alcohol with a bitter metal aftertaste. Very hot!

500 ml can. A clear medium golden beer with a medium sized and disappearing white head. Terrible aroma, heavily alcoholic, sourish with corny and cheap vodka notes. The flavour has a high sweetnes with some sourness and is tiotally unbalanced and harsh. Full body, lively carbonation, long finsh with light to medium bitterness, the alcohol is heavily fely and burns in your throat. Very bad.

When it comes to Euro strong lagers, its either shit, or drinkable, this one was the second, my baby is crying all night..teething here in Germany on vacation, its 5 am, I grab the stroller, and a can of this, what the hell, if he’s crying and the neighbors come out, I’ll be ready man....anyways, I’ve had worse, its grainy, sweet, strong, but there’s no acl burn like alot of these cans I find in France..cheap...ok enough.

500 mL Can labeled "10% Super Strength". Gold body with a fast-dissipating soapy head. Chemical-musty-fruity aroma plus it reeks of alcohol. A high octane beer with high octane aroma, high octane taste, and high octane attitude for those who just want to party till they puke. Intensely fruity-metallic-alcoholic in the mouth. Sickening.
