Rating for the bottled Alfa, wouldn’t touch the canned one.
Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, bread, straw, light floral hops. Flavour quite sweet, malty, light bitter. Finish light bitter.
Nothing really special, though one of the better Dutch session beers in my opinion. Not high in hop, but tastful and elegant. A good choice for a night out with friends (if you happen to live in The Netherlands).
(From 33cL bottle @ home)

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of malt and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt as well as brewing sirup, making the body thick. Totally lacking bitterness.

Canned(500ml). -Dark golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, glue and alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, sugary and strong alcoholic taste with notes of caramel and low hops presence. Don’t bother with this one, but if you really have to (or want to) Alfa is still better than Bavaria 8.6 or Atlas Super Strong.
