Bottle. Nice dark brown appearance, good head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts and some skunkiness. Taste is watery, metallic, roasted malts, sugar, some skunk. Not very good actually.

On tap @ Gollem 2. Golden yellow, white head. Aroma of malts and hops. Flavour is malty and bitter, a bit thin. Nice bitterness, good pilsener.

Tap. Sort of amber tinged gold color. Seemed a bit fruity in aroma. Server said fruity pilseners are popular in the Netherlands. Tasted a bit fruity. There was a grassy hop buildup. So it sort of ended like a pilsener. I really liked it, but it was rather different.

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty bready aroma. Hopps? where? Light bitter flavor. Moderate bitter average finish, but not very pleasent. Watery palate.

Canned(500ml). -straight from the can while walking across Red Light District.
Mild hoppy and bready aroma with rather bitter finish. Easy drinkable but nothing more than ordinary Dutch pils.

Quite a well balanced Pilsener. It’s quite dry and bitter with medium carbonation. Not very fresh tasting and might not make such a good session beer.

Zu Beginn erscheint das Bier herb-wässrig, was sich im weiteren Verlauf bestätigt. Eine langweilige Brühe ist das Bier spätstens ab dem Mittelteil, es gibt tausende Biere (meist im Billigsektor), die genau so schmecken. Braucht niemand, zudem der stumpf-metallerne Nachgeschmack auch keine Lust auf mehr macht. Test vom 10.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,5,4,2,7,3 - 4,20

(bottle) Hazy yellow colour with a foamy white medium head. Dusty and yeasty wheat malty flavour with lemon peel and shy spicy herbal notes. Malty and fruity taste, light bodied with moderate carbonation. Short and quite thin fruity finish, slightly herbal. Refreshing and clean Wit but unfortunately way too thin.

(Bottle 30 cl) Reddish, almost reddish brown, with a very small, brownish head. Spicy notes of....cinnamon. Also spices in the flavour. But not heavy and sweet, more dry with a surprisingly light body for it’s strength and hence a rather unusual Bock. Reminds me a bit of a Flemish Sour - without the sourness! Nice one. 060703

(Bottle 30 cl) Greyish orange with a small, compact head. Rather dry without much bitterness. Light-bodied and quenching - a very classical witbier. 120501
