[1] Review by Barkuti from Alhama de Murcia, Spain who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/17/2008 12:08:41 AM)
"Nice gold colour. Head is lacking, low density white foam, dissapears quickly. Looks and feels a lot like standard pilseners, yet sweeter and with a somewhat deeper malty aroma & aftertaste. Noticeable alcohol presence. I can clearly feel a not well built red wine with not nicely integrated alcohol, but this beer struck me, I liked it's overall flavor, never thought a standard light lager-looking beer could be made with this ABV and great taste. All in all, strange. Maybe I'm an alcoholic bastard after so much beer & wine tasting lol.
Very drinkable, tastey, strong. I like this beer.
7.9% ABV BTW.
Cheers"

"Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is metallic, hoppy, maizeish and alcoholic. Flavour is alcohol, malts and some maize. Overly sweet thing. Good thing is it's now rated... "

[3] Review by Beerhawk from Sackville NB, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/3/2006 1:52:21 PM)
"I wasnt a huge fan of this very alcaholic Lager from Dutch-land. It struck me as very sweet, with very little attempt to mask the taste of the alcahol. While not as terrible as the strong beer we get on this end of the Atlantic, its still quite heavy"

[4] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/6/2006 2:01:42 AM)
"Best before date on the bottom of the can reads 05-2007. Pours a golden-caramel colour (darker than most lagers) with a white foamy head. Carbonation is under-average and retention is not bad. Dirty lacing with a nose of cereals. Medium mouthfeel. The cereal is present in the taste as well, with some mild bitterness. Alcohol is there too, but very well blended, with no burn found. No corn in this one. Quite an interesting malt liquor that is slightly different from others."

[5] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (3/13/2006 4:40:17 PM)
"650 ml very dark blueish green bottle, bought in France. ABV is 7.9%. (The original 8.6% ABV version is still made for the Dutch home market, according to the brewery website.) Golden colour, large lasting head, decent lacing. Malty and fruity aroma with some alcoholic notes, but not unpleasant. Hints of oak and leather. Flavour is very sweet, but surprisingly it is not as repulsive as many other (often less sweet) golden strong lagers. Tolerable hops obviously contribute to a (nearly) acceptable balance. Moderate carbonation. I’ve had worse beers."
