1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Canned. Pale yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, some malts and mild notes of the grass. Flavour was quite much the same. Mediocre. Not totally hopeless, but not good either.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bavaria Holland Beer-12oz bottle-pours a big foamy white head that laces and yellow/gold color with effervescence. Aroma is plenty of citrus lime-grain. Taste is citrus lime-grain/light malt-bready, some Euroskunk. Taste gets a bit bland further in which is a shame. Mild carbonation.
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of cardboard, with hints of grass and metal. Sweet and thin flavour.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Very pale with a poor head. Aromas are metallic hops, grain and sugar. Flavours are...sugary water. Some soapiness. If only some of that delicous sugar-water was turned to alcohol.

Tesco, Canned as Dutch Export. Aroma was cornish and grainy, quite sweet. Taste is similar carbonation is harsh and just a bit mess alround.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
99p can labelled ’Lynx Pilsner’, but reading between the lines, this is what’s in my glass. Clear yellow with a dying head of fluff. Sweetcorn, blade of grass and peanut butter aroma. Once warm I can detect Munich-like biscuity pale malt and herbal hop traces, and something lemony. Really. Loads of sweetcorn and cornflake beyond, no hop or malt flavours discernible. Sweet and adjuncty, but no off notes to justify tipping it. Cornflake aftertaste. Nowhere near shit enough to make it into my bottom 100. Refreshing and brainless.

UPDATED: AUG 16, 2006 Jan, 2005:Tesco Dutch Export Lager. Canned. Metallic nose. Sweet twisted metal malt. Chemical finish. Grassy hops. Surprisingly juicy for a 3%. For all its faults its a drinkable cheap lager - pretty much what you’d expect from a supermarket own brand. [2.0]
Nov, 2004:Co-Op Dutch Lager; Canned. A sweetish pale lager like tinned pineapple water. Chemical mesh finish. Drinkable. [2.2]
Sept, 2002:Hollandia 3%; Bottled. Initially clean, refreshing and very cheap drink. Light hop and even lighter malt aroma - like dry cracker biscuits. Everything about this is light and laid back - the sweetness is light, the bitterness is light. It’s a quick refreshing drink that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. If examined the dry cracker taste starts to get stodgy and a bit chemical. The hop finish is stewed into a washing up-liquid floral melody. Cheap and refreshing straight from the fridge it is - a decent beer it aint. [1.7]
