Amstel Bier
Thanks to Wei Siang, I managed to try the Amstel beer I missed out when I was in Europe the last time. Came a long way back from Amsterdam.
I was so excited about it… so here is what happened…
When I opened the can up – I waited for the aroma, but found none – and yes my nose was working fine.
The design – was simple and probably something to reflect where they come from AMSTErdam – 5% alcohol
Poured it – into a draft glass and it was golden yellow with almost no head. I did some research and found out that the beer had light carbonation and normally does not have a nice head. The bubbles were also not many and coarse
Nose – Still had nothing in the glass so I just drank it.
When I tasted it – it made me realise that this beer really tasted like how I smelled it… there was no taste to it… either that or I was having a really bad day. Alcohol taste was also not evident… could it be the journey back
Conclusion – who says beer is not like water. I think some girls would enjoy this non-bitter beer.
