65cl Bottle from a toko at Kinkerstraat. Just slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of a hint of caramel, some toast, light malty, some spirit. Flavour is medium sweet, light malty, tiny hint of lemon, toast, some caramel, very light-bitter finish. Light bodied. Guess it’s a fine beer for a tropical climate.

Bottle from Lambert’s, Bedford. Lagers yellow, maybe a bit deeper than others of its ilk. Aroma isn’t bad: citrus, grass, a bit of spice. Taste is foul. Euch. Sick and chemicals. But... hold on... it rounds up into an almost pleasant sweetness. All in all, I’ve had worse. The disgusting initial flavour fades quite quickly to the point where I stop noticing it. So not a drain pour but I’m glad I’m sharing it. I won’t be in a hurry to try another.

Dark brown color. The aroma is quite fresh, with some dark caramel. The body is thin; some dark caramel flavor, some yeast, and remarkable low bitterness; light roasted nuts in the final.

(bottle, 65cl) Clear, golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Subtle grainy and fruity aroma with a tinge of rubber. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Almost juicy malty taste with subtle fruity notes; sweet and slightly corny malty finish, leaving out any bitterness. 01.IX.14

60cl Bottle: from Beers of Europe, opened on 12th Aug 2014 and shared with my son. Pours the typical light golden colour you would expect from a Pale Lager, same non-lasting white head too. Mid-range in hop and maltiness for the style, next to no aroma (also true to style). Slight corn feel to the overall flavour with some sweetness and not a bad example of a global beer type.
