The ones that reach amsterdam are just 90% of the time disastrously oxidized. Basically undrinkable. Bierkonig ams

Deep gold with a frothy, white head. Mostly floral and bready aroma that’s quite pleasant given the style. Bitter with a heather and dough-like sweetness underneath. Not unlike a traditional German Helles, just a bit more heather and dankness. Faintly metallic at the finish. Above average for the style.

Finally having this beer before it sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor. It’s malty, funky, sweet, and I can understand they’re going under. Don’t feel too bad, they sold out to Sapporo for $85mil about five years ago.
