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 as part of beer club. Solid everyday Pils - probably a little better on tap, but still very decent
