Can. Nothing special. A bit bitter. Typical pilsener. Bit watery. Nothing more to say.

Bottle bought at Albert Heijn in Vaals. Expected a very pissy and light malty Lager. Got a nice Lager with some sweetish malt, big quafness and even some aroma of sweets and citrus. Not a gourmet one but an evening with that one would not be the worst thing in the world. Respect for that industrial brew.

Can. Golden colour with low steady head and medium body. Nose of hops. Taste of mild hops, mild grains, straw, vanilla, flowers and blood oranges. Easy to drink and really refreshing.

@Backlog huismerk bier van de Albert Heijn, dun en waterig, wel doordrinkbaar maar niet bijzonder, orange/gouden, licht moutig, licht zoet, licht bitter

33cl bottle. A regular pilsner. Nothing fancy, but ok.

Can shared, massive thanks to Deanso! Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma of light hops, malt and grain. Flavour is light sweet and bitter. Light bodied with moderate carbonation.

For the price, there’s no better Dutch grocery store beer. I’m actually surprised how much body and flavor this has considering its price.

A bottle of 300 ml, the standard small bottle of the Netherlands, poured into a Heineken glass. Deep golden colour on the appearance, with a rich white head. Some bubbles rising to the top to feed the head while others are stuck on my glass’s walls. Head after a while loses 3/4 of its size but stills is more than enough to cover the beers’s surface, whilst leaving light lacing on the glass.3,5 Not much on the aroma front, some malts and some a smell of old bread, not unpleasant though. Preety typical aroma I would say. 3 On the taste is quite neutral, very difficult to distinguish something. Maybe some light bitterness, mostly notable on the aftertaste. 2.5 Light on the body and medium to light carbonation, leaves your palate dry. 3 Not a bad beer with this hot weather, served ice cold and for 34 cents is one of the better options out there that follows the triptych of thirst quencher-good quality-low price.

Somewhat watery with no specific nutes in tatse, sour palate. White and thin foam, disappearing very fast. Golden colour. Better to avoid it.

#982 Ein süßliches, geschmacklich eher dünn geratenes Pils. Der Hopfen zieht im Abgang zwar an, ist aber eher grobschlächtiger, metallisch-blecherner Natur. Test vom 3.11.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,6,6,6,9,6 - 6,45
