An acceptable lager, nothing special but it makes the job to wash the throat. This one is smooth, bready, a bit metalic, hop, 03.12.19

Refrigerated 330 mL green glass bottle. Hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is light grain and slightly light struck, lighter body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light grain.

Bottle at home in Alkmaar, country #70. Nose is somewhat syrupy malt sweetness, some vegetable-like notes. Taste is similar, malty sweetness, it might be poor quality, but at least it’s malts. It even got a vaaaague hint of hops in there. It’s light bodied of course, with a dry finish. Not terrible or offensive, but it obviously is of poor quality.

Аромат слабоват но все же что то есть, много солода, легкие намеки на сладость. Цвет золотой, пенка не впечатляет. Вкус по началу солодовый, при глотке легкая сладость вроде меда. Послевкусие с хмелевой горчинкой, хотя странные нотки водицы из под крана тоже есть. Но в целом все равно не самый плохой лагер.

330ml green bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear gold, moderate sized white head, nice retention. Sweet malt aroma, some corm, grassy, maybe a hint of lemon. Taste is very thin, some corn, malt and grass notes but its over before you know it. No real bitterness to speak of. Light body but fine for 4%. Carbonation too subdued for a lager, needs more to get limited flavours around the palate. Otherwise you may as well have water. Pleasant enough, no big off notes, refreshing, but very dull and almost tasteless.

Green bottle when opening there is an skunks grassy smell. Golden coloured beer with an mediocre slightly sweet bitter taste with some limy hints. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.
