Well last Friday night was Queen day - in Holland, so a coupe of bottles of Grolsch wheat beer spotted on the shelves in Tesco (€2.69) seemed like a respectful choice Its labelled as having won "world beer of the year - wheat beer, 2007" I may have missed those awards, I assume lots of celebs younger than most of my socks made fools of themselves etc etc ad naseum Anyway, its really kinda nice, in a plain sorta way. Its a wheat beer, its got lots of head, very very fine carbonation, amazing for just 4 ingredients... its got some of those indicative wheat beer flavours but its...well nice. Dare I say it, formulaic. I drank them both, enjoyed them and have now blogged them. Paulaner in future though.
