Bavaria Brewery 8.6 Extreme – Malt Liquor at 8.6% ABV (€2.00 at Carrefour City, 500 ml, packaged on 3-Jan-2024, best before 7-Jan-2025, acquired 15-Feb-2024, reviewed 16-Feb-2024)
Appearance: clear pale gold with a short, short-lived off-white head, minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: sweet muddled fruit, floral, doughy yeast, solvent. (5/10) Taste: high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (5/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, sticky warming finish. (3/5)
I suppose that since I had zero expectations here, I technically can’t claim to be disappointed. And I can’t say there’s damage here, in that I’m not detecting actual off notes. But, this is a boozy muddled fruit and floral mess, reminiscent of dish soap-laced vodka, which is to say: gas station hobo beer at its finest. (Fine, I got it at a supermarket, but the point remains.) Look, if you want to get fucked up for ten bucks, no judgement, this is your friend. Otherwise, you might want to avoid this. (11/20)
This will be my 5,761st unique Untappd check-in.
