Reminds me of a Heineken in my opinion with a slight barley note difference. Love the swingtop bottles too!

I like this beer, one of the first beers I tried as a teenager. Decent euro lager, one of the better Dutch lagers and is an excellent alternative to Amstel or Stella if you can find it.

Granted, Grolsch doesn't look like anything special. The head is decent, but the smell possesses a hint of skunkiness. That said, I have always loved the taste of this beer, which has a stern bitterness with a hint of something tart. It goes down nicely too.

Best before: Feb-20-2018
A:
Pours a crystal clear pale straw with lazy champagne carbonation and a puffy white mousse that is easily roused. Just about ideal. (4.5)
S:
The aroma is light hop spice, cereals and general "beeriness". (3)
T:
Flavor is similar. Toasted/sweet cereals and grassy hops thrown in. (3)
M:
Medium carbonation light-plus body with a relatively dry finish, a little lingering twang of something. (3.25)
O:
This is a decent enough beer for what it is.
Right off the bat it looks spectacular. Nice head, nice web of lacing, clear as glass. The rest is possibly less impressive, but still not terrible. Somewhat grassy, somewhat grainy, a touch corny (a little too tangy in this way as you drink it), nifty bottle, drinkable, and not bad at all on a hot day. Still, though, not my preferred choice among the "Green bottle beers" . (3)
