Head is initially small, frothy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow, with small particles. Aroma is moderately malty (straw, hay, grain), moderately hoppy (herbs). Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. I don’t like the grainy/husky malt scents in this one all that much.

Very cheap at a local retailer and I Know why. All the dutch lagers I try seem so skunky & sour. This is the worst of the lot.

decent.not a lager person.

’Its like ummmmm water?’ Thomas I fully agree this stuff sucks

More crisp and bitter than the average macro lager. A bit musty.

deep golden colour, fine head, fresh hop aroma, crisp, clean - very nice

I thought, Oh great, just what the world needs: another Dutch beer in a green bottle. I was surprised. Not a bad little lager at all. Smooth. Not too skunky. I’ll drink it over Heineken.

Interesting - I thought I got some corn syrup flavours, weeicemon also picked up adjunct notes, yet this beer claims to be all-malt. It otherwise is an inoffensive, full gold lager.

Typical looks with smells and tastes like fruit juice. Suprisingly dry with very little bitterness in the end. Adjuncts semi apparent but not too diminishing.
