Bavaria Dutch Windmill

I was instantly skeptical about this one, as soon as I walked into the store and spotted the cases stacked up. "Hmm, mega grocery store chain Winn Dixie selling a never-seen nor heard-of Dutch green bottle schwill, with the oh-so-clever "Dutch Windmill" name (where are the tulip and wooden shoe references, to complete the stereotyping?). What are the the odds of this being decent?" Well curiosity got the better of me, and I bought a very cheap case of 12 of these suckers. Not skunked from UV rays, at least, so there's at least a slim chance of this not sucking.

But you know what? This is not all that horrible, really. Decidedly on the sweet side of the spectrum, that's for sure. And the appearance really does take a hit for it's rather uncanny resemblance to what beer looks like after it's done it's duty running through my 34-and-a-half year old body.

Neutral aroma, at least. No distinct off aromas. And the flavor? Like I said, it's a touch sweet, with perhaps some real basic Saaz highlights in the mix.

Not half-bad in the mouthfeel game, though I think it would be a bit cloying after 3-4 of these on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Quaffable, surprisingly enough. Really expected a lot worse, overall. Will I polish off this entire case in my last few days here in Pascagoula MS? Hardly. Will I carry back some for sharing with my mates back in SD? Nah. I'll leave the remnants in the Hampton Inn hotel fridge for the maids to take home with them when I check out. But lets just say that they won't be able to look forward to getting a whole bunch of these beers free-of-charge. I'll do my fair share in killing this case, have no fear. :)

Its in a green bottle and not skunked, well good start so far. A cloudy yellow appearance. Almost no aroma exists and the flavor is crisp with some corny and grassy flavors coming through. Overall its more boring than anything.

"Nasty" and "yucky" is right. The appearance was the only thing it had going for it. Not recommended.

Attractive packaging, not a good beer. Aroma is putrid, appearance average. Left a bad taste in my mouth, very strong aftertaste. The flavor is best described as "nasty." Overall, a fairly yucky beer.
