Appearance: 1/5

Clear golden liquid with a small white foam. Not appealing.

Smell: 2/10

Smelled like any macro lager. Fairly weak with some white bread.

Taste: 7/10

Completely different from the smell. Fruity, apples and very sweet. Well hidden alcohol.

Mouthfeel: 3/5

Medium smooth with a medium body and low carbonation.

Comment:

I'm puzzled about this beer, it looks and smells like a cheap cheap lager but it tastes like a fruity Belgian tripel or similar.

I'm not sure they created the beer this way and what customer group they are aiming for. The price is very high but it isn't matched by a high quality product. Maybe it's brewed for high end restaurants and hotels that get allot of customers that don't care about a high price tag and will enjoy the prestige of being able to order a very expensive bottle.

Either way I'm not very impressed with this beer.
