1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Another terrible mass produced pilsner of the danish malty type. Served really, really cold this is drinkable, but you better avoid this and go for the alternative, if there are any.

1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bad example of a Dutch lager. Weak hops, weak bitterness, weak malts. Mostly watery. Typical beer that is not brewed, but produced. Weird thing is that it is on tap in so many cafés in Holland
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This beer has a gold/yellow body - hue apperance and a coarse white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a medium carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is sweet/bitter.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear pale golden with medium white head. Lacing.
Aroma.. mostly malts and grassy hops. Grainy, far away fruits
Sweetish with light bitter finish.
Very simple drinkable beer. Thou gets bit boring
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
I must be masochistic, coz I can’t for the life of me explain why I sometimes still drink this.
Weak, watery, unimpressing smell and taste, there’s the expected hops and some malt, but ye gods, why on earth is this beer so omnipresent and popular (pun intended)?
Every once in a while, on a warm terrace in Greece, I let my guard down and order me one of these, immediately regretting it on the first sip. Tohether with Heineken, Bud and the likes, I tend to give this the label "industrial waste".
Stay clear of it, there’s hundreds of beers more worthy of the name out there.

Tasted 13/4/2013 draught at Cafe De Dam, Amsterdam. Poured a clear golden amber with a one- to two-finger white foamy head that collapsed quickly. Low carbonation as shown by a few small bubbles. Aroma weakly of malt and a trace of hops. Taste initally sweet malt followed by a slight hops bitterness. Light body. Ended with a short bitter finish.
