De Troch B12 Energy Beer

Sampled at Low Countries RBM 2005.
Small white head, slightly hazy golden color. Sweet aroma of grape sugar, candied and artificial. Sweet flavor as well with a vague sourness in the end. Very much an energy drink. Pretty fresh and actually not as bad as expected, not much of a beer though.

Bottle. Who bought this one? Sweet crappy sugary Red Bull flavours, very bad.

There is nothing, nothing good to say about this yucky, rotten fruit like tasting and smelling beer. WTF?

Combination of bubblegum, red bull, bananas and candy. Disgusting. If Che Guevarra would have wanted brewers to use his sign, than it would be for a good beer, not this commercial crap!

I see this beer is heading for a rating comparable to Florisgaarden Chocolate and the Chili Beer. Which might not be totally unjust, as it is terribly sweet and actually closer to Red Bull than beer. But still, i like Red Bull, and this might be one of the very few ways for me to obtain my vitamins...

Bottle at RBG Low Countries 2005 Clear, yellow body. White head. The aroma reminded me of the smell a factory where I worked for a week. And over there they made food for cows. It was fruity, rotten banana, sweet. Heavily sweet flavour. Lightly body. Very bad.

Bottled. I’m not going to write or discuss much about this beer. It really really sucks as a beer and I hate energy drinks. So ...

Colour of applejuice; as much head. Fruity nose, sweetened yoghurt, grapes or passionfruit on juice, artificially sweetened. Terribly sweet, artificially fruity (apple, lemon, grape, bananaester, passionfruit, guave,..) with a tart background. Lacto’s but I don’t detect much Brett. In the taste, the artificial is less the sweetener than the aroma’s and even the acids (citric acid) and esters. Light bodied, juice-like, tart finish with even dry-out effect. I’ve said it above and I’m saying it again: artificial, synthetic.
