Grolsch:
Greetings party people!  So today we head back to the land of tulips and their odd beers.  To be honest I bought this more for the bottle than actually wanting to try the beer.  Grolsch is the premium lager of the Grolsh brewery and to be honest, I had high expectations given the bottle and…well I’m not sure why else, but I did and they were dashed.  The beer pours well with a nice thick foam head that lingers for a while but the noses is bad, reeking of light hops that give it a skunk that I haven’t run across in a while.  The taste is slightly bitter at first but quickly moves to the skunk again and leaves a lingering back of the tongue flavor that can only be described as sour.  Best way to describe this bottle and it’s contents is this: this beer is Heineken’s older cousin and it’s not the jolly one.  I don’t recommended this beer, but this isn’t my scene, if it’s yours, more power to you, just don’t talk to me without having a water with you, your breath will be pretty atrocious with this one.
