Blimey give 'em a chance :lol:

It has been described as having bitterness of 29 EBU and colour of 12 EBC......so there is a couple of bits of your jigsaw puzzle perhaps.

Good luck!

Jim

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it appears you've been born without a palate of any kind. :=P

Amstel gold is just a stronger version of Amstel, so if you brew up a lager with a shedload of cornflakes, table sugar, dog hair and bellybutton fluff, you'll be somewhere near.

I quite liked Amstel Gold when I had it a few years back.

Sorry, don't have a recipe but would also like one!

FWIW I used to like Amstel. Nowadays though compared to the finer ales its a wee bit unrefined for me
