Kiss – Destroyer

Brewed by Krönleins Bryggeri AB in Sweden, Destroyer is a European style lager. It exhibits a taste that is moderately sweet but no so refreshing because of that sweetness, bitterness is medium with herbal undernotes; this beer is reminiscent of the American Lager style and it will surely remind you of the hair rock days of Kiss!

Motorhead – Bastards

This one again comes from the legendary brewery in Sweden Krönleins Bryggeri. The beer style is a cloudy pale lager that characterizes the essence of Motorhead. Ironically the beer has a weak ‘head’ that dissipates soon; the hops add very less character to the taste but once chilled, it’s a great refreshing beer for day drinking.
