Oranjeboom Premium Lager

Another Trader Joe's purchase here and a rather inexpensive one at that. I don't know how a six pack of tall boys from the Netherlands can sell for $5.99 but here is your proof that it is possible! The price made me a little skeptical of Oranjeboom's quality (especially since another Trader Joe's purchase, BrouCzech, was god awful) but I was only going to be out $6 in the end so what the hell.


Oranjeboom isn't bad! A clean tasting, crisp lager beer
that reminds me of Heineken with some sweet malts added in that have a miniscule amount of fruitiness. This is a nice back up beer to have kicking around in your fridge when you are in need of a simple, decent and refreshing lager. Will I be having cravings for Oranjeboom? I don't think so. Does it hit the spot on a nice breezy Spring day? Hell yes!


Tall Boys are good for when you are playing Rock Band too- fewer trips to the fridge. Oranjeboom lubricated my vocal chords just fine for my falsetto singing of Judas Priest songs. Anyone want to come over and play 'Hellion/Electric Eye' with me?
