It's almost an urban legend; 12 cans of lager for the princely sum of e7.99. I often got it for 5.50 just because the wrapper was damaged.
The question is; is it piss? The answer is a resounding no.. It may taste a bit bland and once you get past the sterile ambiance of the packaging and can design, it goes down easy, and is very drinkable. It is far from unpleasant, and no, the rock bottom price did not sweeten my palette. It's slightly weaker than most lagers at 3.9%.
Someone tried to suggest to me that the can is unlined inside, which is bull. If that was true it wouldn't be allowed on the shelf. This comment came from a gentleman as he reclined in his armchair a midst the decadence of a six pack of Dutch Gold.
If bereft of transport and within walking distance of supermarket, a good idea is too have a durable reusable plastic bag with two strong handles (The brown reusable ones from Dunnes Stores are the daddy) as the ones sold in Aldi will not always take the strain as it is a heavy motherfucker.. It exerts quite a bit of stress on most bags as it swings when you're avoiding human traffic, prams etc en route to HQ.
There's probably some beer snob out there scoffing at this man's folly for championing an inferior brew, but just because it wasn't brewed in the austere cloisters of a sheltered Bavarian monastery since the 1600's does not necessarily mean it's piss. A winner...
