Copenhagen 8/8 2016. 33 cl bottle from Mad & Vin, Magasin, Kbh. K. Funky green Buddha bottle.
Pours clear pale yellow with a big white head. Stable. Settles as a 1,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is of sweet malts and grains. A quite sweet bread box.
Medium strong carbonation and a watery palate. Lively texture.
Flavor is watery and quite weak. A little sweetness and almost no bitterness.
A super funky bottle - with a immensely boring content.

330 ml Buddha shaped bottle
Pours a clear yellow golden colo, thin layer of white head that fades. Grainy pale malt aroma. Taste is fairly clean, better than expected its more bland than unpleasant. Thin bodied, fizzy carbonation.

Yeah, the buddha bottle is the gimmick, the beer isn't worth it. Not even good or strong enough for marinade and not even strong enough for drain cleaner.

It looks like bud light and pours like it. The smell is very sweet on the nose. Smells like very sweet yeast. Zero hops. Bud light actually may have more flavor than this beer. Thank the beer GODS it was a Xmas gift and I only have 5 more to drink. When I say Bud Light is a better beer, that should tell you everything you need to know!
