500 ml can, from dutchshopper. ABV is 5.1%. Clear golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts, hints of grassy and floral hops. Sweetish flavour with some sharpish bittering hops in the aftertaste.

750 ml C & C. Aroma soft raisin, English toffee, soft oak. Flavor follows with just the lightest hint of orange peel, citrus rind. citrus makes it fresh. Alcohol is hidden with just a slight warming after the sip after 3 years of sitting! Great!

300ml bottle from Albert Heijn in Amsterdam. Pours an orange-gold color with a thick white head and good retention. Very good lacing. Mixed malt and yeast aroma. The taste follows the nose: A mix of malt and mellow yeast notes with a smooth finish. Reminds me of a light Dunkelweizen. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Okay, but it’s not my favorite mix. At least the 7.2% ABV is very well hidden.

Kruikje gedeeld met Roelzie. Het is een helder amberkleurig bier met een volle beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van zoetige fruitige tonen. De smaak is fruitig, karamel achtig en kruidig in de afdronk.

Voor de tick. Helder, goud, wit schuim met weinig retentie. Geur van graan, wort. Fruitig in de mond, zoetig, wort. Smaak is licht bitter, iets wortzoetig. Lichte body. Iets bittere nasmaak. Mmm, niet eens slecht.

330 ml can from a grocery store in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a bright white head and very good retention. Very good lacing too. Light pilsner and sulfur aroma. Bright pilsner malt flavor with no sulfur notes, and a slightly sweet finish. Basic profile. Very simple, clean, and refreshing. Medium-light body. Above average carbonation. Low bitterness. A good anytime beer.
