Albert Heijn 100% Natuurlijk Pilsener Biologisch
Albert Heijn (AH)

300 ml bottle, at home. Poured into a footed pilsner glass. This is more of a czech pilsener, on the steps of the classic Urquell. Colour for one, it’s very similar. Deep golden, close to orange copper. Big fluffy head of three fingers, white in colour, with very good retention. Medium lacing left behind as the foam goes down, while at the same time countless bubbles are rising to the surface. Aroma of grainy malts, blended with Saaz hops. Notes of green apples combine too and give to this beer a refreshing smell. Taste is amazing! Keeping in mind the style, plus the fact that it’s a contract beer for a big supermarket chain, plus the fact that it’s a biologic beer (and I hate almost all things biologic as they seem to lack in taste) this is quite a masterpiece! Sweet at first, with notes of apples again, turns to an all-out-bitterness on the finish and it’s a long one too. Medium to full on the body, with aggressive carbonation. Overall, wow! When I grabbed the 6 pack I was thinking that I was only to drink one and the rest would probably end up with my girlfriend who really digs all those bio/organic food, but I was pleasantly surprised. From the colour and overall appearance to the refreshingly bitter taste, this is an original.
