"You're in for a good time" reads the label on the back of Rockstar's Pißwasser beer bottles, which have just arrived on a packed-out trolley at the CVG office.
"Enjoy the crisp, salty taste of Pißwasser. The German fighting lager of choice for the more discerning binge drinker. Brewed from Rice, barley, hops and the fresh urine of Bavarian virgins."
There's even a sound piece of advice: "Warning: May cause karaoke and domestic violence."
We're always impressed when a game publisher sends us beer, so here are our initial impressions:
Tasting reveals that it is not, in fact Holston Pils with a new label slapped on the front, and it's tastes just as strong as the 5% vol marking suggests - and it has a hint of Belgium about it as well.
We're not singing just yet but Gav did slap Andy in face for not opening the bottle with his teeth. But he's from the North so we'll let him off this time.
Check back this afternoon for the full, pissed as a badger review, or you can read our verdict on GTA IV the game here. And here's the walkthrough if you get stuck.
Actually after a ortography-reform its not even spelled right. "p**swasser" would be the correct spelling. The ß or "Eszet" like we call it, replaces only the two S after a long spoken vowel. So its "p**s-" and "Scheiß-" (wich means s**t...spoken "Shice".
Of course people know the German-English translation of "Pißwasser" is "p**swater"
Obviously I would have complained about the virgin urin if I didnt get the joke. I mean: The are jealous, so they make a satire about german beer at all. Because americans simply dont know how real beer should taste . But I like beer from belgium too. Grimbergen Trippel ftw!

What is the purpose of this? What a cynical, slimey act of promotion & corporate manipulation. Trying to give the impression that those jokers down at Rockstar are your mates from down the pub when really this is a carefully crafted & calculated PR stunt from PR suits at Take Two. Disgusting.
Grease the palms of journalists so they give game extra & favourable coverage this! //middle finger
