My brother and I will be daytripping to Brussels for this during our Dam stay in September. The beer list is quite extensive:

I may try my first beer in 10 years while in Amsterdam ; any recomendations ?
I prefer a light , crisp beer not too hoppy nor bitter , and a local micro brew if its possible .

Just kidding

There's so many great beers there, I enjoy a cold Palm at Nes anytime I can.

Gulpeners is one of the best beers I have ever had , not that Im any expert on the subject. I think if Gulpeners were to take their beer across the pond it would be a hugh success. Well I know we would buy it

I'd say get your self to De Wildeman: http://www.indewildeman.nl/indexe.html tell them exactly what you're after and they'll have it.

This is a pdf file of the bottled beers they have on the menu: Clicky.

I'm a fan of De Beiaard as well.

Try a Hoegaarden or other "wit" (white) beer with an orange slice. ...very light and refreshing.

Try De Ranke's XX Bitter. Just to prove to you that you do like hoppy beer. I've yet to meet someone who doesnt like this stuff. It is the beer of the gods.
