COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Primator is een bijzonder bier, met een aangenaam volmondige moutsmaak. Wij brouwen Primator met de beste moutsoorten en Saazerhop. Hierdoor ontstaat een stevige dorstlesser met een verrassend zachte bitterheid. Dit lichtgele bier heeft een mooie, dichte schuimkraag en een wat hoger alcoholpercentage van 6%. De smaak is fris en bloemig met een aangenaam bittere afdronk.

A little darker than a regular Pilsener this slightly stronger version has a strong full taste. It’s a bit low on the hops compared to the malt but offers enough flavour overall to make it interesting. There’s an aftertaste which is both metallic and a little grassy.

Maria (9572) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUL 3, 2007
The head is moderate and the color is golden. The aroma is hoppy and the flavour also has a lot of hops. I also get a few malty notes right before the finish, that has a nice bitterness.

Hansen (5449) - Assentoft, DENMARK - MAY 4, 2007
Dark yellow/golden and clear. Has a medium lasting, white head. Flavor and aroma has a little bit of bitterness, no floral notes. Flavor is mainly sweet.

sayravai (4655) - Helsinki, FINLAND - DEC 24, 2006
(Bottled) Deep golden / light amber color with a smallish, white head and some lace. Very mild aroma of pale malts, some alcohol and very faint hops. Sweet-malty, quite alcoholic flavor with some fruitiness. No hops to speak of (some flowery ones can be digged out), considering it’s supposed to be a pilsener. Medium-bodied, sweet-alcoholic palate with quite low carbonation. A drinkable European strong lager, but hardly a pilsener.

raymondwave (931) - FINLAND - NOV 22, 2006
Had this one with a plate of ribs at the brewery. Worked fine with such a greasy and heavy food. Otherwise not too rememberable for a strong lager. Has the identifiable sweet character of a Hertog Jan product.

DanBerg (59) - Alkmaar, NETHERLANDS - NOV 16, 2006
Nice full-bodied pilsener. Nothing wrong with the head and color, good appearance too with a ’strong’ name. Fine taste, better than the normal pilsener.

Bottle at home. Pale pilsener, bit sweet, strong. Okay. Not my favorite of the Hertogs.

MiP (12183) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 10, 2006
Bottle. BB April 05, 1 year ago. Grainy aroma, and honey? Dark golden colour, semi-stable, rocky white head. Peppery flavour with a slight sweetness. Rather standard, but not bad export.

Quinten (1032) - zaandam, NETHERLANDS - DEC 24, 2005
Nice fully pilsener of 100% fully natural ingredients. Grainy taste withe a gentle bitter aftertaste. Now it is time to test wat the conclusion is after a whole evening trinking this beer

Had expected much more of this Primator, thought it was a complexer beer than the ordinary Hertog Jan Pilsener, but this beer is a bit dissappointing
