12oz bottle from beers of the world pack. Clear yellow. Sharp, skunky, sour, and slightly smokey aroma. Smoked cheese and rotten veggie flavor. The mouthfeel is actually alright though; light with medium carbonation. The smokiness and skunk is a combo that is not working in this light lager. Pretty nasty... didnt finish it.

This pale yellow beer poured with a thin white head. The flavor is thin and a bit skunky. Slightly more robust than Bud but not much better.

Smell is sour. Taste is slightly rotten. The only redeeming quality was the light bubbly palate. This beer was a disappointment. I could barely finish it, my friend dumped his out.

Bottle, thank god my buddy split this one with me. I may well rather drink ram’s piss (Beerfest refrence). This pale yellow liquid is pretty much foul. Skunked Heineken comes to mind. Bllehhh.. Next!!!

gold with large chunks of yeast floating around and no head. bottle looks about 30 years old. flavor is lightly sweaty and spicy(red pepper) even smoky, with notes of butter and toffee. light bodied. watery with light carbonation. sweet. one of the 7 best beers in the world? wow! i did not know that. amazing! but really...i actually do kind of like it. oh. i just realized these are the same guys that make the awesome crunk juice, "old monk 10,000". a personal favorite of mine.

I’ve had this beer twice in India, and just can’t venture there again. The first time I thought the strange odor and aftertaste was an effect on skunking. The second confirmed this is just a bad bad beer.

Bottle, Belmont Station
Golden-straw colour. Slight vegetal, plasticy aroma with chemical undertones. Taste has a strong toasty overtone, doughy malts, more plastic (but without the more offensive aroma notes). Not quality.
