Description
Since 1870 our family, the Meens family, has been brewing its Alfa beers in the traditional way. Alfa Bier's brewing process is still the traditional brewing process. The recipe, the method of brewing and the raw materials have consciously never changed, because we do not compromise on the quality of our beer. Alfa is the only brewery in the Netherlands to have 100% pure spring water from an officially recognized source. That water from our own source determines the special, pure and full taste of our Alfa Beers.

Medium to good, dissipating, light-yellowish head over metallic golden beer. Caramelly nose, maltsugars, some green herbs, faintly grassy. Quite sweet, with just a point of neutral to light-bitterish in the finish. Again maltsugars predominant. Feels quite carbonated; slick, grist/patly dissolved sugars’ texture. Mineral water quality. Quite acceptable - as a Heller Bock (7.5% ABV!). The commercial caption ("highly hopped") fits it like a flag a dredging boat. Talk about renewing an old acquaintance - probably one of the first Dutch beers I ever tasted!

Can, shared by tarjei. It pours a clear, slightly pale golden body and a finger-thick off-white head. Malty, grainy aroma with a touch of cooked vegetables. Sweet and fruity flavor, a faint touch of bitterness towards the end. Medium to thin on the palate, smooth. A rather boring one, downing easily. 110429

Canned. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, alcohol, mild rubbery notes as well as some cardboard. Flavour is very similar. Fresh BBE, but just tastes very bulky and dull.

Just another brewer with just another Lente bok. Nothing special about this beer. Standard color, standard average smell. Fresh though also standard taste and low to medium carbo and body. Taste, rate, forget.

Bottle. A small, white head sits on top of a clear, almost golden body. It’s slightly cellary on the nose, with white sugar, fruityness and some hints of alcohol. Flavorwise it’s mostly fruity, but there’s also a distinct sugary sweetness. Thin on the palate and low on carbonation, making it a bit dull in the mouth. A rather boring one, but sure drinkable. 110300

Süß-getreidiger Antrunk. Hellmalzig, mittelwürzig, dennoch eher schwach. Zum Ende stärker hopfig, wenig alkoholisch, scharf getreidig. Trinkbares Bockbier ohne Besonderheiten. 7/9/9/10/8/9

33 bottle at a restaurant in the Hague. Just a plain pilsner, nothing too bad but a boring style

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, mild glue, some mild grassy and bittery notes as well. Flavour is sweet fruits, malts, some grass and mild earthyness. A quite balanced brew..
