Bought this somewhere near Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo - it said "Hollandia Strong - 7.5%". After nearly a month of drinking Tiger beer - the higher ABV and consequent increase in taste and mouthfeel was a welcome respite. Not a bad beer given the paucity of good beer in Malaysian Borneo, but not sure what I would think of it given the abundance of beer of all types in the States!

aroma is candy cigarettes

Another one made by Bavaria. I wonder if there is a complete list somewhere out there with all the beers they have made over the years, both for their own brand as well as contracted.

Can of 500 ml at home, on a very hot day.Deep golden yellow colour with a white, thick head, measuring two fingers in height. Lots of bubbles feeding the head, while it goes slowly but steady down, leaving some light lacing on the glass.
Not much on the aroma front, just lots of malts and just a faint smell of alcohol.
Taste is not at all bad,just as sweet as your average lager, with a bitter aftertaste that goes leaves fast your mouth and a soft pinch on the tongue from the alcohol.
Body is quite to my surprise full and is lightly carbonated.
Well, I certainly didn't expect this one to turn that good I must say. I would definitely recommend it to someone wanting a stronger pils, is so much better than other wider available beers out there.
