Jul 2, 2008 A pale lager with a thin white head. Ultra maderized aroma, with lots of honey sweetness. In mouth, a sweet honey, milkey notes, light hopping. Medium bodied. Old but still decent. Bottle from Joris Pattyn ca. 2005. Shared with the Outaouais Crew, at Old Stock Tasting No. IV, Nov.11 2006.

Jun 12, 2008 [1216-20080321] 330mL bottle. Cardboard paper aroma with a subtle fruity background. Slightly hazy, golden yellow orange body with a quick creamy white head. Sweet orange rind flavour has some sweaty notes and honey hints. Medium body has some bitterness. Really interesting, quite refreshing.

Apr 29, 2008 Malty nose, with some floral hops and fresh cut hay, hazy golden, a tight finger of white foam, some nice lace. Taste is a sumptuous malt, homemade bread with butter and a little bit of honey, some well placed hopping here also. Light bodied, extremely well balanced, gorgeous mouth feel, bitterness is nearly perfect. A great example! My first Pilsener from Belgium too.

Apr 28, 2008 Bottle from Knightly. Pours a hazy straw color with a moderately thick persistent white head. Mild grains and floral notes, a hint of funk way in the back. Taste is light, with a chalky graininess, citrus, and funk all there, but very mild overall. An interesting pils.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle (330ml). Quite cloudy gold, avearge foamy lasting white head. Mild pils grassiness with more Belgian blonde sweet malt and yeast - nice. The taste veers in yet a different direction - this time I’m getting BdG yeast and sweet spice, with pils-type hopping. Light, astringent and dry, mild alcohol and a crisp finish - damned fine patio/balcony hot weather beer (not at $5/bottle, of course).
