500ml can from Albert Heijn in Amsterdam. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Very good lacing. Light lemon pale malt aroma. The taste is more lemony than the aroma. More of a fruit beer than a pale lager. Sweet, smooth, clean, and refreshing. Medium body. Lower than expected carbonation. Zero bitterness. Much better than expected.

500ml can from Albert Heijn in Amsterdam. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a rocky white head and decent retention. Very little lacing. Basic pale lager aroma. Grainy lager flavor with light metallic notes in the finish. Mostly clean and smooth. No awards, but serviceable. Light body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness. About what I expected for an inexpensive grocery store beer.

0.5 l can from 'AH XL' (Arnhem), best before November 2026. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity and a little artificial aroma of lemonade, grains and light straw. Fairly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity and slightly artificial taste of grains, lemonade, some tequila and traces of straw, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Drinkable.

A very average pilsener at best. Water and very industrial taste to it. There are better pilseners available.

Cat at home. Aroma is grainy malt, straw, slightly grassy, touch of hops. Flavour is sweetish with a decent bitter finish. Body is about medium. Not a bad Pilsener, has a solid bitter flavour.

Cat at home. Aroma is light grainy malt, touch of cereal, cardboard, hint of apples. Flavour is light sweet bitter. Body is light to medium, bit weak. Just your ’basic’ bland Lager, nothing ’premium’ about it.
