The Motörhead Bastards Lager is a lager, more specifically a pale lager, made by Krönleins Bryggeri, a large Swedish brewery founded in 1836. They have sold their soul not only to Kiss, but also to Motörhead and worst of all to IKEA. Everybody's got to make a living somehow I guess, and you never know...maybe it's a positive surprise. At least the label is quite nice in this one as well. Let's try it.
Taste: The Motörhead Bastards Lager is a light/medium-bodied lager that starts with a grainy maltiness. The taste doesn't provide anything special, and unlike the Kiss version which ends with a nice hoppy taste, this one ends with a metallic bitterness. Like the Kiss version, it tastes like a bulk lager because well... it is one.
Overall, The Motörhead Bastards Lager is a beer which reflects the discography of Motörhead nicely. This beer has short moments of promise and even accomplishment but like the most of the works of Motörhead, it ends up being a really average beer. It's kind of fitting that the beers of Motörhead and Kiss are produced by the same company, and thus are very similar, since in my opinion the works of these two bands are really similar as well. The Bastards Lager is better than all of the Finnish basic beers, but it's not worth its price and I personally prefer the Kiss version, because it tastes more fresh.
