I could possibly re-rate this one in the future, because my bottle was neither very fresh nor very cool... but at the moment, I totally agree with Voivod. Golden yellow, good head, and very inviting fruity aroma. But the taste is unbalanced at best - too sweet and cloying, with a medicine aftertaste that turns to bitter when it's too late...

Skunky hoppy aroma.Golden flat head appearance.Hoppy biter sweet canned fruit flavor with a nasty metallic sulpherish aftertaste.No wonder it was in the clearance bin.

Golden colour with a not persistent head. The aroma is great, very fruity with strong red apple traces. Unfortunately the taste is too sweet with traces of apple and peach. The aftertaste is the worst thing, it seems very artificial and metallic.

Golden beer, pours slightly flat. The aroma is lightly hopped but with little else. The beer has a crisp fresh lager flavour which makes it very refreshing when served cold. A very drinkable beer for a hot arid climate as the name suggests.

golden with skinny covering..weak citrusy aroma..some citrus..some tasted alcohol, which i do not at all..in fact..this would seem to be a good beer for people who want to get drunk because it probably gets you drunk without letting you taste how good beer should taste..which is what people who want to get drunk, like. I think..i wouldn't know..getting drunk is a bad bad side effect of my hobby...as is bad english once i get started..

re-rate, new version: clear golden colour, few head, strong herbal aroma, sweet, full with a long dry hoppy finish - fresh and robust - this is definitely not the same beer, the old version was a malt liquor, this one is close to a pils
sweet, alcohol too present

a bland rather sweet beer with a very strong alcohol taste - take a bad lager and add some sweet rum to get this drink.
