Dutch Gold

Dutch Gold is bog water.

Dutch gold is so fresh ... straight from the urinal

How anyone can drink this muck bewilders me. And it's not even that cheap any more . I think there was a bit of a stigma attached to it when I was younger "Dutchin' it up tonight" . It taste like stale beer combined with essence of fag butts

I drank Dutch Gold in the school days. Tried Tuborg once, tasted alright but the hangover the next day was savage. Actually, started to come on after 5 cans during the drinking as far as I remember. Never again. I always preferred the Dutch to Bavaria. Had some awful experiences with Tennents, and Castlemaine was staple for a while before the offie switched to having Dutch as their €1 beer. Bless that day, Castlemaine is muck. Stella used to be €10 for 10 bottles, wasn't worth it though. Awful stuff.

Now, I'm a classy lady and go for the Karpackie or Amstel. Mix it up with a bit of wine if I've nothing needing doing the next day. On special occasions however, I'll sample a delectable 1664, Blue Moon, assorted ales and wheat beers. Gotta keep it classy.

Has Tesco stopped selling Dutch Gold

Awful shame the OP got banned - best username ever.

I think Dutch Gold is grand - I'd say people often say it's piss just because they view it as a skanger drink. I prefer a lot of those cheap beers to Heineken et al. Got a Czech one the other night (one euro a can), it was lovely.

It's very inconsistant. I remember when I used to buy it you could get a good batch but sometimes you'd get a real watery batch that tasted like Bud! Rank!!!

Good deals in O'Briens offos recently. Slab of Carlsberg for €24 (€1 per can). Slab of Carling for €20 (€0.83 per can). Then the loyalty card for free beer! Winner.

It's better than Bud, that's the only back handed complement it's getting around here.

I was in a lecture about Brand awareness once. The lecturer asked for 6 people who knew their beer to take part in a taste test.

He had 6 cans of beer on a table. Heineken, Carlsberg, Harp and some cheaper beers.

He had numbered plastic cups and asked the volunteers to taste the contents of the cups and guess which beer was in which cup.

The 6 volunteers completed their task matching the different cup numbers to the different brands of beer.

The lecturer then revealed that all the beer tasted in the test was in fact Quinnsworth yellow pack larger.

It just proved that taste is secondary to perception and emotion. It explains the muck that has become the biggest selling beers around the world. You don't have to be the tastiest beer, just the most recognisable.

Bavaria FTW

I remember back in college I used to drink dutch and my mates would get tuborg and give me a good slagging about it, personally I think tuborg is the flattest most vile tasting cheap beer, the hangovers are savage aswell... Anyway after all the slagging a few of them a week or 2 later were drinking ze dutch instead, preferred the taste!

This was a good while back, when dutch was pretty reliable to taste, nowadays it seems to taste alot worse, its too sweet or something, can't put my finger on it

For lagers I'd go Heineken>Carlsberg>Bavaria>Dutch>Stella>Tuborg

Few years ago Dutch woulda been one step higher up

Has anyone ever had St. Bernard's beer from Dunnes? Not even I have sunk that low, the look of the can even makes me feel sick!

No great surprise. The only difference between Heineken, Carlsberg and Dutch Gold and the rest of the boring lagers is marketing. They are all equally shit so you may as well have the cheapest one.

Forest Griffin in his book said his stepfather told him that since beer is an acquired taste, you may as will acquire a taste for the cheapest one.

yoyo

Used to drink litres of it, rough stuff, very inconsistent, some cans nicer than others. Some did taste like metal, I suppose at 79c you can't go wrong if on a budget, could get 12 cans and change from a tenner :pac::pac:

Haven't bought a 6 pack of Dutch in a good while.

I would rate it better than soapy Tuborg but Bavaria and Carling are better.

Carling in cans are dirt cheap at the moment and have no cheap tang off them.

My local offie does a slab of 500ml Carling cans for €20. Get in.

6 for 5! Drank it in the 90's. It was fine but they had to be very chilled which usually wasn't an issue on a winters night.

Yeah I've been getting Carling a lot recently, like you said its cheap (1 euro a can) and it doesn't taste like complete mule piss.

Back in my student days I could not afford the dearer cheap drink so I used to pick this stuff up. You just have to stick it in the fridge. Drunk for a tenner so I was.:)

Nowadays I like a nice speckled hen or a nice whiskey

*asks butler to get one more drink
