Pours very pale gold with a 2 finger fluffy white head that has good retention. Aroma is grass, sweet malt, toasted grain, wet limestone, raw grain, some grass and a little bready lager yeast. Flavor is sweet malt, grassy hops, woody notes, half baked white bread, some toast and a nice mildly bitter finish. Not bad for the style, pretty ho-hum, try it if you love Heineken I guess. Palate is thin, dry and nicely carbonated.

Bottle. Pours pale with a large frothy white head. Hoppy aroma. Fresh fruity taste, nice long bitter end. Not bad.

Pours Clear yellow tall white head no retention. Aroma of malt and slightly bitter. Fresh and smooth. Typical Euro lager. Not bad.

An easy-drinking, refreshing beer and cheaper than Grolsch or Heineken, too! Appearance is a bright medium gold with a foamy white head of modest size. Aroma is scarce, perhaps a bit floral. Taste is clean and not as bitter as the aforementioned "other" Dutch beers. Aftertaste is (briefly) a bit sweet - thought I had a wheatbeer going here for a moment but then the hops kick in. Not bad.
