Smoother, no real bitterness to speak of. A little bit of sweetness. Not my style of lager.
Commercial Description:
Kornuit
The Grolsch Kornuiten (Mates) are young, progressive brewers. Inspired by our 400 years of brewing tradition these craftsmen are always looking for new opportunities. They have brewed a beer that complements this time. Grolsch Kornuit; a tribute to Peter Kuyper, the passionate brewer with whom it all began 400 years ago. A beer that tastes refreshing from the first sip and with a lovely soft finish.
Key Features

Connoisseurs say
It is a real lager, brewed with craftsmanship and the particular choice of hops (Columbus and Cascade), Grolsch Kornuit has a delicious fresh taste. It is a lager with a smooth finish and is therefore ideal for a night out or a cozy evening with a bunch of ‘cronies’.
