Can from Albert Heijn store in Amsterdam, Netherlands. A hazy golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, malty, caramel action. Decent enough.

Bottle from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam, Netherlands. An amber/brown coloured with a medium off white head on top. Hoppy, malty, caramel, pine taste and aroma. Nice bitterness and still a great beer. Not had this beer for at least a decade and it's less bitter IMO which makes it even easier to drink.

Can at home from Meny Domus Vista - Sweet fruity aroma and taste, some peach, some citrusy grapefruit and tangerine notes, citrus peel, malts, pretty juicy and decent mouthfeel for a AF, dry into the hoppy finish. Not a bad AF number.
