This is great, I have finally found something that I can wash my dishes with and have the taste of the liquid be the same before AND after! it’s a cheap lager. not great, but not horrible either.

Gold colored liquid beneath an ample layer of foamy white bubbles. Little bit of lacing. Sweet, fruity malt aroma. Hints of hops. Malty backbone with a slight roastiness. Maybe more nutty. A slight bitterness. Well balanced. Nice quaffer on a warm afternoon.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2012 Bottle. Pours a yellow-golden body, with a large white head that mostly diminishes, with virtually no lacing. Aroma is malty, grainy and a little sweet. Taste is moderate bitter. Body is light to medium, watery texture, and a medium carbonation. A typical average lager beer.

Bottle. Golden color with medium white head. Aroma of malt, corn with light bitterness in background. Taste, malty sweet, fruity hints, light bitter finish. Another average lager.

30 cl. bottle @ home. yellow with a decent white head. taste is a bit yeasty in comparison with the other Dutch lagers/pilseners. Overall not too bad, don’t mind drinking this but not looking forward to it either.

On Tap- Served a pale golden color with a small head and no real lacing. Aroma of mild grain with a bit of citrus. Not much else. Mild sweet flavor, grain mild bitterness and a slightly sweet finish. Light body, pretty bland. Typical Euro Lager. Makes Heineken taste good.

A pretty awful beer which always seems to be sold in pubs. I think this it a bit of a hangover beer and I would suggest avoiding it. Tastes like Stella Artois.

5.0% gold colour and no head, bitter malt aroma, bitter taste, do not like it at all.

Clear golden yellow color with small size head. Thin beer but fine refreshing.
