SHIG (1382), Oberoffligen, Germany Sep 7, 2007 Bottle: Poured a clear golden color with bubbly white head. Sweet hoppy grassy aroma. Corny dirt like pils, prefer when Belgiums don’t make beer like this. UGH! Bart (1214), Vosselaar, Belgium Feb 9, 2006 Clear pale yellow colour, average white and diminishing head. Hoppy aroma, dry with some grains. Light body, thin texture with some soft carbonation and a light bitter-sweet finish. JorisPPattyn (4247), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 29, 2005 Pale yellow-gold; slightly irregular small head. Very dry grainy nose. Dry, again very grainy taste, tastes nearly completely attenuated. Unfortunately, then a little wet hay flavour comes up, getting bitter, and as rotting wood. Light MF, but caustic. Terrible aftertaste, like wet, rotting cardboard. DIRTY wet rotting cardboard. Starts off pretty good. But then... Papsoe (9771), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 6, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) Pale golden with a fine, creamy head. Flowery hop-aroma, medium body with a decent maltiness. Just a cheap pils, but not really any worse than the premium brands. And it has indeed a fair quenching effect. 010698 jbrus (4056), Delft, Netherlands May 20, 2005 I keep telling myself "don’t buy beers you know they are going to be bad or tasteless". I and keep doing it sometimes somehow. This is a very good example. Grain and metallic bitterness.
