Description
United Dutch Breweries in Breda was created when the Belgian Interbrew closed the Breda Oranjeboom brewery in 2004, which it had taken over in 1995. Oranjeboom's export department carried out a management buy-out and continued independently with Oranjeboom's brand portfolio, which was acquired from Interbrew. The beers are not brewed anymore in Breda but elsewhere.

Slightly corny aroma. Brassy gold color with a respectable white head. Medium bodied. Mild carbonation. Flavor starts well with decent balance of malt and bitter. The finish is nicely bitter, rather dry, and the malt still is noticeable in a non-sweet way. A good lager, as lagers go. A bit heavier than the Amis may be used to.

Canned (by Posthornbrouwerij, Breda). Deep golden colour, mediumsized bubbly head. Aroma is very alcoholic, glueish and slightly malty. Flavour is fruits, alcohol and some malts. Really sweet and the alcohol burns in the aftertaste. A rather nicely going-down malt liquor,

Found it in a store near my house, they only beer they had that I never tried before. After some sips I understood that ’’3 Horses’’ is the abbreviation of ’’3 horses piss’’. Nasty. Avoid at all cost.

Tin. Not a pilsener. Faint malt aroma. Watery body with a little bitterness. Weak finish. Better than most industrial lagers but not good enough. There are better lagers out there in most countries. If you have to make the choice between something like Miller and this, drink this.

Rerate from can found in Trader Joe’s in Cleveland. Original numbers (3,2,4,2,7)
Pours a pale gold with a small white head and aromas skunk, biscuit and cheap perfume. Flavor is a corn and grass mess with honey sweetness and a watery countenance. I was about right on with my initial assessment and haven’t changed numbers much at all.
It’s been a while, but I remember this fairly well from when I was in the Netherlands. Bottle or can, didn’t matter, it had a sort of aluminum taste to both. Thought that was pretty strange. Also had that Heineken/Grolsch sort of hops/skunk flavor to it, but the aluminum pulled away from making it an enjoyable skunk, like in either of the aformentioned. Either way, it wask OK, but not going to win any awards. Malt body is sweeter than H/G offerings, too.

Keg at the Kings Head, Hythe, Kent. Pale straw colour with a thin white head, and heavy carbonation; malty aroma; slightly sour and bitter taste (reminds me of Grolsch); with an unusually salty finish.

Can. A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with a dry bitter finish. OK, but a bit boring.

(33 cl bottle) Clear golden to copper color, small white head. Very sweet cheese and stale water scent, very bad. Sweet corn bad taste. Thin mouthfeel, no bitterness. Why?

Pour is a gold with a average white head. Aroma is non-exisatant. Flavor is mostly carbonation with some grain. Not real good and i don’t often say that Heineken is better.
