Our Take on Amstel
At DubaiBottles, we believe that some beers are more than just drinks. They are traditions. Amstel is one of the world’s most respected brewing traditions. Born in Amsterdam in 1870, Amstel has been crafting premium lager for over 150 years. Quality, consistency, and a taste enjoyed across the globe define this beer. Amstel speaks of Dutch craftsmanship and dedication to the art of brewing.
The Amstel Brewery was founded in 1870 on the banks of the Amstel River in Amsterdam. In 1968, Heineken International acquired Amstel.

Appearance and Aroma
Pour into a glass and you’ll be greeted by its brilliant golden colour. A thick, creamy white head forms and lasts. The aroma is clean and inviting. Delicate notes of light malt and subtle hops emerge. A hint of fruitiness adds depth and character.
Flavor That Tells a Story
On the palate, Amstel delivers a crisp, clean, and beautifully balanced experience. Gentle malt sweetness provides the initial impression, followed by a subtle hop bitterness that lingers without being overwhelming. Smooth and lively, the mouthfeel is enhanced by fine carbonation. A clean, dry, and satisfying finish leaves a subtle hint of sweetness that invites another sip. Moreover, this beer is as refined as it is refreshing — perfect for any occasion.

Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Amstel is best enjoyed well‑chilled. Ideally served at a temperature of 4–6°C. Store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving. For the perfect pour, use a chilled glass. Pour slowly to achieve a thick, creamy head. If you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, we recommend chilling it as soon as it arrives for the perfect drinking experience.
