Commercial Description:
Keg only.
A light interpretation of the Continental pilsner style, Oranjeboom has the full body and flavour you would expect of a lager with a heavier alcoholic content. Brewed by Shepherd Neame under licence from Brouwerij de Oranjeboom, Breda in Holland, this Gold Medal-winning 4.1% abv draught lager is perfectly placed to grow sales in the most dynamic sector of the UK lager market.

Tap @ Beer Exposed, September 2008.
Pours clear golden with a small, frothy, film head. Aroma is sweet malty, some wet dog. Overall, not much aroma. Super-high carbonation, very watery - carbonated water, anyone? Flavour has some weak malts and a touch (only a slight one) of flowery hops at the end.

One of those beers i pass all the time and am always like surely theres somethign better than another pale lager to rate. Anyway aroma, mmm a bit sweet with some maltyness going on, good start, as this warms grassy hops kick in too. Taste is also reasonably sweet with a dry finish, not to dry though, remarcably exceptable lager we have here that seems to be everywhere. Plesent suprise.

Keg at The Olde Reinedeer, Banbury. Golden lager with forced white head. Typical biscuity malty pale lager produced in Britain, thin on the pallate apart from masses of gas, no follow through flavours or hops. Won’t try again.

This was the UK draught version, brewed under license by Shepherd Neame (at 4.1%). A boring lager, without much going for it. On tap (keg) at the Three Tuns, Faversham.

Draught Keg - Mabels Tavern Mabeldon Place nr Kings Cross (RB London Xmas Crawl 2004). A golden coloured lager with a grassy aroma with washing up liquid notes. The taste is sweet and sickly. Not particularly nice although not a typically English attempt at a lager.

Dec, 2004.Keg. Mabel’s Tavern, Kings Cross - a Shep’s pub. Crisp, hoppy aroma. Crisp, passion fruit burst in the middle; slight chemical finish. I was surprised at how pleasant this tasted. London Xmas Crawl. [2.5]
Oct, 2005. Keg, White Hart, Cuxton - a Shep’s pub. Side by side with Hurliman this came off very badly. There was a lack of distinct flavour. The malt was murky and the hops were a vague nonsense. [1.9]

Draught. At The Bloomsbury Tavern, Shaftesbury Road, London. Oh WHY do I order stuff lke this? Very pale gold, clear, with a small fast-diminishing fizzy white head. Dry, funky (not in any good way) stale aroma, sort of sweet. Dry, stale wheat aroma, less funk than the nose, just some harsh dead bitterness. Somewhat harsh on the palate, sharply carbonated, stale harsh aftertaste. Not very good; cheap, in fact.
