Not much found online about this beer, only that it is cheap, bought in discount stores, and ideal for those drinkers who want to get totally smashed!

Review: 500ml green can of Amsterdam Maximator Maxi Intense: 11.6% vol.

Bought in a cheap corner shop in Switzerland. Comes in garish green can with an emblem of a ship, representing the port city of Amsterdam I’d say, a hearty drink for the sailors of old…….

Looks pretty darn good on the appearance, a very big white frothy head on the pour, carbonated very well, and a dark golden colour on show. The head maintained well and some very good lacing to add. Very good on the eye, a good start.

Oh wow, the smell is very strong, hits you straight away, a knock out to the senses. Very cidery, I like it, very nice, strong but appealing.

Alcohol straight off the bat on the nose, very boozy! Malts, corn, grainy, yeast.

Wow, just wow! Very intense on the taste, the hops are quite strong, to say the least!

All a bit urgh! Or I should say quite a good bit URGH! This is pure alcohol, very sweet, yeasty and malty, and very tough to stomach, hard to drink, impossible even.

It says on the tin that it has “intense hopping”, no fuckin shit it has! Fucking horrible. Tasted more like a bad whiskey than a lager.

Far too hoppy and boozy, horrible, just pure alcohol with no sweeteners or flavouring to hide the intensity of the hops and alcohol. This is very strong and not enjoyable at all. My tastebuds were down right offended.

Felt terrible after drinking it so much so that I had a bad night’s sleep! Seriously, who drinks this shit?

Brother will be visiting in 2 weeks, might buy him this for a show and see his reaction! A joke of a beer! Easily the worst beer I have ever drank. AVOID!………
