This has been on the market for a very short time, I believe it is `retired` now. A sweeter, malty and a bit more fruity version of their normal pilsener. Added nothing to their beer spectrum. But that never stopped any big brewer.

Dark brown beer with a red hue, off-white head. Aroma is roasted malts, brown sugar, caramel. Flavour is bitter roasted malts, brown sugar and a nice bitter finish. Some chocolate. 2006 version was more fullbodied and more tasteful than the 2007 version. Overall a good bock.

Clear golden. Hoppy and grassy aroma, taste is dry and bittersweet, a bit grainy. This pilsener is somehow less easy to drink than other Dutch lagers.
