Well, last night I did my first beer sampling for
Beer Day and it was Grolsch.
Grolsch is the #1 selling Lager in Holland. It certainly is a little different from the North American brands that I am used to drinking. It's just slightly heavier with a "hoppier" flavor.
It comes in a big (497 ml) green bottle which is resealable. Pretty cool stuff.
We (my co-reviewer) and I found that the bottle was good for at least 30 seconds of conversation, after which the beer needed to stand on it's own. I enjoyed the beer. That said, I would not sit down for a nights drinking with only Grolsch on the table. It's worth trying, just for the bottle and the distinct flavor, but not my favorite.
Enjoy...and cheers!
