Clear darker yellow with high white foam head. Lasting quite a while. Good aroma, and somewhat thick pilsener taste, not too bitter. Not bad.

33 cl bottle. Yellow to Golden colour. Minimal white head. Very little Aromas, just soms sweet malts. Taste is grain, sweet malts. Finish is very mild bitter. Soapy mouthfeel. Extra percent alcohol not predominantly present. Not special, lack of flavour. I prefer regular Amstel pilsener or Amstel 1870

Golden fizzy body with bubbly white head. Darker than the normal Amstel pilsner and the head lasts much longer. Very grassy, hay, white bread dough and even some juniper berries. Could be much worse. Drinkable sweet, sticky body with an equally sweet malty taste. Underhopped big time. Leaves a dryish feel. Underdeveloped or something. Strange. Disappointed after the hopeful aromatic start. Cheap. (33cl bottle)

Bottle @ home. Clear yellow / golden color, large white head. Don’t smell much more than a little malty and a slight weirdness underneath. Taste a weird light bitterness, some malts and alcohol. Low to medium carbo, medium body.

33cl bottle from Albert Heijn. decent head. Golden colour. Not bad. Better than I expected from Amstel

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, hops, butter and alcohol. Finish is dominated by alcohol.

Dark yellow and clear. Has a white head, mostly lasting. Aroma is sweet malty, toast and light alcohol. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter. Notes of alcohol. Creamy texture.

Bottle: Fluffy white head on top of a clear yellow beer. Smell spices, pilsner, malts, malt liquor. Taste is a bad mix of alcohol, malts and some spices. Too much alcohol, nothing special!
