Courtesy of fishingnet. Thanks for landing me a sweet new country rating. Pours clear watery gold and thin bright white head. The aroma has a mild skunkiness to start followed by cereal, hay and sugary sweet malts. The taste is light and refreshing. I can picture consuming this on a hot day on the beach. The taste is sugar sweet malts backed up by a shiv of lemon zest, cereal, grainy malts and some faint vague hops at the end.

Gift from Robert Junier. Pale yellow no foam left. Typical barley taste and aroma. Probably much better when drinking on a warm beach in country. (Arnhem 201502)

This poured a pale yellow color with some odd lemon detergent aroma. The flavor is Heineken. Yes folks I didnt describe it I said Heineken. We’ve all had it before, you know the taste. Lets hope its cheaper and less trendy though!

Bottled. Golden colour, with small sparkling bubbly head. Aroma is rather sweet with some malts, hay, cardboard and maize. Flavour is about the same with some bigtime grassyness lurking in the background.

Nice crisp clear beer. The bottle I tried was skunked though. Low hop. Some malt. It would have been good if it wasn't skunked. Good summer beer.

A friend brought me a six pack of this garbage back from his vacation in Aruba. $1.60... per can... each can is only 220mLs.... $9.60 per six pack. Ridiculous. Original review was of a relatively warm can, so I'm re-reviewing on a colder can. Poured a fizzy light yellow, with a foamy head that disappeared rather quickly. Aroma is grainy, and husky. Rather smooth, with some nice carbonation as well. Flavor is... well... hmmm. It's got that definite macro flavor, but there's something just not good here. A metallicy flavor, amidst the grainy and corn flavors. I wouldn't threaten a slug with this mess. This is a sad little brewery that makes all their money off of unsuspecting tourists. I'd rather drink the famous Aruban rum than this stuff.

My first time having this beer and I have 3 more to sample. A good flavor that has a strong carbonated appearence, mouthfeel, and flavor. Overall I would say it is an average pilsner and I am going to enjoy my other three.

Tried one small bottle that was brought back by a family member vacationing in Aruba. Nice flavor, would like to try again but only when I go to Aruba myself.

I tried a few small glasses of this when I was in Aruba. It was served in a tiny glass. I would like to get a better chance on this one.
