Amsterdam Maximator Beer, not for me

I will drink anything... but this stuff was nasty. Do not get me wrong, on a desert island with an ugly bird this might be a savior.

This is one of the strange imports that show up in Costa Rica.

It was worth trying, but I would rather drink 5 times as much beer and take a few extra trips to the head, than have to drink this all night.

I saw a review by Rostise and Maverick, and loved the read... but I still despise the brew.

Side Note: I did buy three of them and drank them all; I didn't like it, but I did it. I am some hypocrite.

Yes, the two joint brands, Navigator (about 8% of alcohol) and Maximator (the one you mentionned) are not my favorite too. There is something too sirupy about them that makes the unidentifiable taste even weirder. Personally, I like bitter drinks -- I'm a fan of gin tonic, and try to replace the original liquor with gin in popular cocktails (a gin white russian is excellent for example) -- and a beer I find really suitable is called Bavaria 8.6 Holland Beer (black can). It's a strong beer, but a little bitter and on the dry side. Not great, but definitely better than the Maximator/Navigator.
