Amsterdam Blonde Lager

Matt's weekly choice : Amsterdam Blonde Lager

For each of the beers we sample we will be rating them on five different classic categories. Look, taste, smell, feel and overall rating. This Amsterdam Blonde Lager was poured from a 473 ml can.

 Look - 3     Smell - 3    Taste - 4    Feel - 4   Overall - 3.5

Look - Very clear with a yellow-golden tinge to it. Minimal head when poured from a tall can into a pint glass. Lots of visible carbonation in the beer. Looks like an average blonde lager.

Smell - Not very much smell to this beer, a slight tinge of hops and a bit of a floral scent to it.

Taste - For a light blonde beer I thought the flavour was great. It was a very clean, refreshing taste which goes down really easy. Slight tinge of caramel, malt and sweetness. Nice, almost bitter after taste which arises from the floral hops.

Feel - It has a smooth, carbonated feel on your palate. Crisp and easy to drink.

Overall - In my opinion this is a great beer for a sunny summer afternoon. Nothing too memorable about the taste but it is produced from all natural ingredients and not pasteurized. Nice to drink very cold and slowly warming where you can get more of the essence of the beer. For the price it's a great choice for Toronto locals.
