8.6 is a special blond beer with its own distinctive character. A powerful and strong beer with a golden haze, pleasantly sweet and viscous in its aftertaste. Full in body giving a rich mouth filling sensation. 8.6 Original has a fruity palate thanks to a sublime fermentation process. Expressly fruity and flowery on the palate, warm and full of character. Strong in alcohol content, an elegant, clear blond beer. Complex in flavour, beautifully balanced. Brewed with natural mineral water from Bavaria’s own spring and the best barley malt, wheat and hop.

Can, cold af. Orange with a good inch of white head. Very shy aroma of light grains, sugar, a fridge that's remained empty for some time. Doesn't taste of all that much either - sweet, slightly grainy, some pears, fake caramel syrup, toothache. Low bitterness. Alcohol is surprisingly well hidden. Hard to rate - it's clearly well made and there's little that's really nasty about it. But there's nothing good either.

50cl can from Nõmme SuperAlko, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a white head. Grainy, sugary and alcoholic with mild fruity notes and hints of dusty hops. Some bitterness in the finish, but fairly sweet and unpleasant.

500ml can. Pours a clear medium gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Aroma of grainy pale malt, corn syrup, vegetal, metal and alcohol. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, corn syrup, sugar, caramel and metal with burning alcohol in the finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Cloying and the high ABV is not integrated very well.

Sampled from 0.5 l can from 'AH' (Den Bosch), best before September 2018. Clear, amber with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, extremely sugary, slightly boozy aroma of honey, sugar, some grains and a touch of straw. Very sweet, malty, slightly bitter and a little grassy taste of grains, sugar, honey and some straw, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, slightly boozy and a bit grassy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite okay actually, I've had worse in this style.

Can from the Shazleen Enterprise, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear straw colour with a fizzy short-lived white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is sweet toffee caramel malt, light alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth rich grainy sweet sugary malt, toffee, light alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
