Grubeater (6) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - JAN 31, 2012 does not count
Nice pilsener with a stronger taste than other Dutch pilseners. Golden, clear beer with white foam. lightly bitter, light body, thin feel, and lively palate.

bierbeek (36) - Beek, NETHERLANDS - JAN 28, 2012
33 cl bottle. Clear yellow colour. Heavy carbonation. White head diminishes to quickly. Aromas of hops, hay and grass. Taste: light sweet malts, grass and a strong bitter hop taste. Light body. Nice flavourfull bitter beer, much netter than a normal pilsener.

mile (1221) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 25, 2011
Bottle. Light golden, small and fully diminishing head. Light to moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, some grassy hoppyness. Body is light to medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some butter and light grassy hoppyness. Finish is short to average, malty and lightly sweetish, some butter and grassy hoppyness. Lightly sweetish pils – could use more hoppyness to balance the diacetyl.

IluvatarMilan (140) - Eindhoven, NETHERLANDS - AUG 15, 2011
Easily the best - and probably the only actually decent - macro pilsener in the Netherlands. Fresh grassy, lemon nose. Actual hop flavour in the body, and a nice crisp and hopbitter aftertaste.

Countbeer (1686) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - AUG 6, 2011
Bottle: White head on top of a golden colored beer. Smell hops, malts, herbs, grains and hay Taste is a nice bitter spicy crisp mix of hops, malts, herbs, hint of flowers. Nice bitter aftertaste. Personally think this is better than most regular pilseners!

Benzai (2296) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - AUG 3, 2011
Think I tasted this at KBC Den Bosch 2011. Nothing much to tell actually, just another pilsener as there are so many.

DutchDrebus (1112) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - JUN 22, 2011
Not too special. It’s a bit like a regular lager/pilsner, only a bit stronger in taste and smell. Easy to drink.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 21, 2011
Fruchtiger Geruch mit süßlich-hopfiger Note. Malziger, sehr bitterer Antrunk. Zum Mittelteil kommt auch der Hopfen hervor, die starke Bitterkeit bbleibt bestehen. Die erschnupperte Süße geht darunter allerdings verloren, auch im Nachgeschmack, wo die starken Aromen anhalten. Der Hopfen ist noch lange erkennbar. Einprägsames Bier. Test vom 24.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,8,11,8,10 - 9,50
