Slipstream (392), USA Oct 7, 2008 Updated: Oct 10, 2008Imported 1- liter can that has a little drawing of a Viking on the label. The beer is a dull gold color. Quickly sinking cap has holes in it, like a honeycomb. Sweet malt and floral hop aroma - better than expected. Flavor is pretty good too - decent amount of hops (Saaz, I think) and adequate malt. There is a little astringency, too. The biggest drawback is a urine-like quality to it, or something like that - it seems to turn my urine into Faxe - but it is still a good beer for the money. And don’t we all love big cans? FatPhil (2362), Espoo, Finland Oct 6, 2008 500ml can (K market)
Pale yellow, doughy head. Simple over-sweet lagery aroma - mostly light malts. Thin body, some cheap esters retronasally. On swallowing there’s a weird sensation that something’s been in the mouth, but hard to tell what. Very watery and uninspiring. Mostly nasty-free. fata2683 (178), APO, New York, USA Sep 28, 2008 1 Liter can poured into a pint glass. Looks like a light lager. Smells sour and like piss. Taste is watery and slightly bitter with a nasty finish. bsm80 (104), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 6, 2008 Light and watery, slight hint of malt almost no hops, sour and bitter finish. matt7215 (578), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Sep 6, 2008 500 ml can from the lcbo. pours golden with a nice white head. aromas of crappy adjucts. very sweet aroma. the flavour is unimpressive with an alcohol filled metalic finish. not enjoyable.
