Zlatopramen Half n' half

Zlatopramen Half n' half (Bottle) 4,8%
This is a beer I picked up at Systembolaget a couple of days ago. I can't remember seeing it before, but considering how common it is at Systembolaget I'm not sure how I could have missed it.

Apperance:
4/5
Hazy amber liquid with a big dirty white foam that left a nice lacing with lots of foam.

Smell: 5/10
Malt, caramel and something sweet.

Taste: 5/10
Malt, caramel, lots of sweetness and sugar.

Mouthfeel: 5/5
Very smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Creamy thick body that went down easily

Comment:
Actually a surprisingly nice beer. It's not very complex but a malty and sweet beer, with a pleasant mouthfeel. I think this beer would work very well with some heavy salty food, like a Weiner schnitzel or some meaty sausages. It didn't work very good with spicy food. It's biggest problem is the very high sweetness, at first it didn't bother me but after a while it got too heavy.

Total: 2,9/5

  1. Den har funnits rätt länge på bolaget vad jag vet. Däremot har de precis bytt etikett på den. Har recenserat den förut med den gamla etiketten. http://fajanjons.blogspot.com/search/label/Zlatopramen%20%28Heineken%29

  2. Jaha är det den, men den har jag ju druckit förrut. Fast jag har aldrig betygsatt den. Tyckte det var konstigt att jag inte kände igen etiketten.

  3. Jag drack den också ganska nyligen och tyckte ungefär som du.
