2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a translucent golden brew. Had a medium white foamy head. Smelled bland and a little corny. Tasted bland and a little harsh. The palate was slightly harsh and the finish was dry. Not worth the cost.

The reason I tried this ubiquitous beer was the swingtop bottles. I’ve been collecting them for months for brewing from a store gracious enough to save them for me for the price of the nickel deposit. So, I finally broke down and bought a four-pack. The slight sweetness is followed by the hops lingering bitterness with a well rounded mouthfeel. Good stuff.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml swingtop bottle pours a light golden color with a finger of white head that settles to reveal a tiny bit of lacing on the glass. Aroma is grainy malts and grassy hops. Taste is a sharp hop bitterness balanced with some grainy malts with a light sweetness. Definitely one of the better lagers out there and should also be classified as a premium lager.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
My favourite macrolager. When tasting pale lagers I tend to compare them to this. Crispness reigns. Only problem is the bottles can occasionally cause a little skunk aroma, but it’s quite rare, and I think homebrewers would start jumping off bridges if Grolsch changed their bottles.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
moderately skunked due to green bottle. pale yellow with minimal head. yet another euro lager. below average due to being quite bland.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Lager that stands up well in the fine Dutch tradition with an emphasis on malts.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light golden color with small white head. Malty, corny aroma. Taste pretty the same. Not bad for thirst quencher.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma and taste has notes of bread, malt and fruity hops.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Picked up a case mostly for the swing-top bottles to re-fill with my homebrew :) Pours a clear pale with a frothy head. The head settles quickly, forming cloudy clumps on top. Aroma is bready with grassy hops. Taste has a light sweetness and sourness, and heavy bitterness. Light bodied with low carbonation. Finish dominated by hop bitterness.

Bottle. Pale-ish gold goor. Tastes of rice and honey. . not anything special, but a decent euro mass produced beer
