Very pale colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Very sweet pilsener. Almost no bitterness.

(Draught at De Spuyt, Amsterdam, 1 March 2014) Yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with bread, grainy malt and hints of boiled vegetables. Malty taste with notes of bread, grainy malt, a touch of tropical fruit and hints of vegetables. A slight bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Drinkable, but hardly necessary.

Standard pilsner. Not bad, just very plain and boring. Drink it with food. Made for the masses.

Nice hoppy nose. Clear golden colour, frothy white head stays awhile. Aroma bread, grass, leaves. Taste light sweet and bitter, light to medium body, average carbonation, smooth light bitter finish. Not bad at all but it used to be better; I think I miss the special marly (mergel) quality of the water when this beer was brewed in Valkenburg, those were the days... --- Beer merged from original tick of Pilsener on 31 Dec 2000 at 11:00 - Score: 7. Original review text: I drank this a lot in my youth, a nice decent pilsner.

Clear deep brown colour, good frothy brownish head. Aroma caramel, coffee, roasty, brown sugar, liquorice. Taste heavy sweet, sugary. Light body, thick feel, sweet malty finish. In the Dutch province of Limburg an old ladies drink this or mix it 50/50 with pilsener in order to slow down in alcohol without losing the drinking flow...

Poured from a large screw top bottle, into a 0.2 litre, tall, thin tumbler behind the bar at t’ Pumpke, Valkenburg on 21st Oct 2012. Dark and extremely malty sweet: It was a dark brown almost black colour (but the bar is very dark, so I could be out a few shades in my eyes): on top a full, deep tan covering that hung around for the whole glass and produced some heavy lacing. The nose and taste were just too malty sweet for me really: the molasses just made this a malt drink, not a beer.
