A beer with a strong taste and caramel flavors
Maximator is the most intense of the Amsterdam range of beers. It’s a bottom-fermented Dutch lager weighing in at 11.6% ABV. The power and the intensity of its flavour make it Amsterdam's benchmark beer.
Conceived by the Amsterdam master brewer following the success of Navigator, it broadens the range, whilst faithfully conserving the maritime tradition inspired by the brand’s heritage.

Just as bad as the Navigator, but even a little more unpleasant due to the high alcohol, which is present.

Another can brought back from the South of France in Sep 13: this 500ml monster was cracked open on 2 Dec 13, well before it’s expiry date. Poured (twice) into a La Chouffe tulip at home. Bright, light golden/amber with a deep head on each pour, the heads tried to hang around for a while too. A hangover in a single can: smells grainy, tinny and alcoholic, tastes grainy, tinny and alcoholic, palate wise I thought it, grainy, tinny and alcoholic, overall it was grainy, tinny and alcoholic. It actually got a little better as it warmed and my second glass was almost pleasant,well almost.

My, that’s some alcohol burn you got there....very malty lager with lots of heat. Looks good though, with nice thick creamy head. But then again you’re not drinking this for taste, you want a buzz...and you’ll get it.

Pours a yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of soap, grass, and grain. Flavor of grass, medicinal, soap, some citrus, and grain with a dry finish.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a beer this bad. Not that I haven’t had my fair share of crappy lagers - many of the worst of S.E. Asia have taken a piece of my liver, but this one really takes the cake. I could barely stomach the thing on the train in Buenos Aires. Tasted like foul spilled whisky wiped up with a dishrag and squeezed into an already bad tasting beer. Ugh

Süß hellmalziger Beginn mit gering herben Alkoholnoten. Der Alkohol bleibt dann recht gut versteckt, aromentechnisch hat das Bier aber nichts zu bieten. Süß, gering herb, alkoholisch. Langweilig! 8/6/8/6/7/6

Golden with a small white head. Weak grainy and fruity aroma. Very sweet fruity and sugary flavour with burning hot alcohol
