Amsterdam Brewery 3 Speed Lager American Pale Lager at 4.2% ABV | 11 IBU (Gift – thanks, Kath M!, 473 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 14-Dec-2016, reviewed 10-Jan-2017)
Appearance: clear pale straw with one finger of fluffy white head diminishing rapidly to a thin cap, no lacing. (2/5) Aroma: sweet cereal grain and pale malt, grassy. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, low bitter. (5/10) Palate: light body, moderate carbonation, crisp finish. (3/5)
Let’s be honest here: there’s no point expecting this to be anything other than what it is. But, what it is, it does pretty well (as one would expect from Amsterdam Brewery). It’s clean and crisp, with no off flavours. At the end of the day, though, it’s about as boring as watching paint dry. Still and all, I’d rather have this with a meal than a macro lager. (11/20)
