Very pale, nearly greenish yellow, hazy; very thick, snowwhite, ultrafine-bubbled head. Vanilla, creamy nose, later coriander comes through, but not very affirmative. Light citrussy flavour on some malt and other, indistinctive, sweetness. Rather creamy mouthfeel, slick and even some body - leaves the impression of not being fermented through. Some refreshing qualities. Rather ho-hum wit, manages to avoid anything offensive, read, =dull.

Faint, short lived yellowish head, very fast gone; dark brown beer with reddish shine. Whiff of vanilla, lots of caramel, bit of laurel in the nose. Surprisingly dry-bitterish taste, pretty litle sweetness really. Lines a tad harsh around the tongye, but nothing shocking. Shocking is rather that I like a AH beer - they asked the right one. Medium bodied, dry, a bit resiny. It’s not exciting - but it is good, and, at least, a lot less sweet than most of those deadly-stereotyped Dutch bocks.

Orangey-gold; collapsing differentiated head, off-white. Nose with faint grain, and faint fish as well - kroepoek . Hoppy flavour for a short instant, than a dough-like taste, some malt sweetness. Fully empty palate, just some fizziness. The nose is fishy, and once in, nobody’s home - except for Albert Heijn, maybe, fishy as well. "Ambachtelijk"? My ...

An orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is very malty with notes of flowers and hops. The flavor is malty sweet with a good hoppy end - though it has some metallic notes too which draws down.

Cloudy yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of citrus, wheat, some banana. Sweet and thin taste, some citrus. Quite weak belgian white, but not bad.

Canned, 0.5 liter. Clear yellow color, short white head. Quite watery pilsener, bit thin, some bitterness. Ok actually.

A very dark brown beer with a small but fast disappearing head. The aroma is nice malty and sweet. The flavor is prickly and very sweet of a nice malt blend, but very quickly it turns watery and with no bitterness. Maybe a bit too sweet - but very good for a low alcohol beer. I would compare it to a danish hvidtøl.
