This clean tasting, full-bodied golden lager is made in the tradition of European strong bock beer (Hellesbock). Cold aged for 6 weeks, this beer is a very smooth and mellow addition to our range of specialty beers.

[1] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (11/25/2007 7:55:28 PM)
"I tried this beer a while back at a friend's house. It was certainly a strong beer, maybe a little too strong. The taste and smell of alcohol overpowered any other taste and aroma this beer may have had. It was a nice translucent gold colour and the mouthfeel was crisp, with some mild carbonation, so decent marks in those categories."

"typical strong beer in everyway, appearance, taste. amsetrdam really is an over-rated brewer. one of only a hand full times that a beer i tried from bottle first i didn't waht the juxtaposition of trying on draft. and i probably never will. if you like strong beer, you can do better that this, like bavaria 8.6"

[3] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (6/9/2005 7:00:15 PM)
"Bottle...clear shows a pale gold beer small rocky head from a hard pour leaves quickly...bit of lacing...low carbonation . Aroma of boiled grains, some musty woodsy smells. Grainy thin mouth feel, moderately hidden alcohol..dry finish...not great beer but a better than average strong lager. Perhaps this is champagne for the St. Ides 40 oz crowd.

"red-amber colour, fine head, deep malty and pineapple aroma, sweet, strong alcohol presence, typical taste of a strong lager - not so much disgusting as most european strong lagers but definitely not my kind of beer ... "
