Amsterdam Mariner
Friday, May 11th, 2007
Amsterdam Mariner premium lager is a fully imported beer that is brewed and bottled in Holland and let me tell you, it’s not a bad beer. It is currently retailing at my local BWS for $9.99 a six-pack.
This beer was introduced locally to Holland in 1994 and now gets exported to over 50 countries worldwide. It’s a full flavored lager with quite a strong taste of hops but not so overpowering that it stops you wanting more. I could happily drink a six-pack in one sitting. The alcohol content isn’t as strong as other premium lagers sitting at 4.8%. The beer itself has a medium yellow colour and smells slightly sweet.
Amsterdam Mariner is brewed by the Royal Grolsch Breweries in Holland which have almost four centuries of brewing knowledge. This beer has a 12 month shelf life which makes it good for any modern day bomb shelter that requires a ready supply of beer. I suggest you go out and start stocking up on this beer now, because at $9.99 a six-pack, it’s a steal!

This beer is great and sells for $30.99 a slab at my local Safeway.
this beer sucks
Worst beer ever! Would rather drink the piss of a carlton draught drinker than this crap. My mate got me a slab for $20, i thought it cant be that bad to try for $20…. I was wrong, I cant even finish the first one.
Dont Bother.
Good beer, nice lager style with good after taste. I’ve been drinking this beer for some time now and consider it to be the best value and tasting fully imported beer on the market. Best drunk from a chilled beer glass. I always purchase the 500ml cans and a carton purchased thru’ the Woolworths outlets cost $40.00 and when on special as low as $32.00. Certainly beats these “imported” beers brewed in Australia, and costing imported beer prices.
I live in the Cayman Islands and this is the cheapest beer on the island. Everything is expensive here and this beer sells for only $.99 CI per beer. That’s about $1.2USD. If someone is selling this beer for $9.99USD for a six pack they are overcharging. Maybe it just depends on where you are. Really it’s not a terrible beer, but I wouldn’t pay more than a dollar per beer. Of course I come from Oregon and I am very picky about my beer selections. This beer has a very malty, sweet flavor. Its very similar to Steel Reserve. Almost like a malt liquor.
I cannot understand sone of the previous comments about this beer, saying it is crap. I have been drinking it for 12 months. and to me it is a perfect beer. so those people who say it is not up too scratch, they dont know much about beer Vern
Cheap beer, from the onset seems ok,
but after a few taste sessions wore thin and cant bare to taste it again.
Oettinger pils is a MUCH nicer beer for the same money.
