When I first envisioned this blog, it occurred to me that it might be wise to review a few beers on the cheaper end of the spectrum, suitable for parties or those awkward occasions on which cash might be in short supply. As a 99 pence bottle at most stores, this Dutch 5% lager seemed like a good first venture. It tastes, in short, like lager. It is entirely generic with little else that can be said. Perhaps this was a beer designed for accountants, or other individuals who value cost over personality - I don't know, but whatever the influences on its creation, it seems to have found a niche. Would I drink it out of choice? Probably not. Would I buy it for my friends? No. Would I happily down a few at a party with no other beer options? Absolutely. If cost were no object it would get a 4/10, but in this pragmatic and unfortunate world I will give it a generous 5/10, the extra point being added for its undoubted value.
