50 cl bottle. No yeast in bottom. Golden colour with a rocky head. Very little aroma of malt and hints of some parfume. Nice malty flavour with a dry finish.

NOTE: This is not really a rating. I’m converting my old notes over to BR. This is more like "check" for my own purpouses, that I have indeed drunk this beer at the time it was produced.

roasty, herbs, leaves, alcohol, woody, not really my kind of beer. the very first sip was very fresh but the palate was so thin/short, that only the co2 was left

500 ml can. Export Version 5.2%. From Tallinn, Estonia. Pale golden colour with small white head. Sweetish malty aroma. Grainy malty flavour, quite weak though. Nothing interesting here.

0.5 L bottle. Bland, sweet, little hops. Hint of perfume. Less flavour than the normal A. le Coq pilsner. Not really what you would expect from the beer named after the founder of the brewery (and a Belgian no less).

Can from TBone, thanks! Pale blonde with some tiny chunks of yeast, but clean. Soft peararoma. Grainy flavor, no hops, some apple. Almost flavorless. Medium bodied, but rather bland.

Bottled(500ml). -as Albert Le Coq Export, 5.2%ABV.
Yellow coloured, medium sized white head, grainy nose. The aroma is malty, mild hoppy and salty with notes of vegetables. Odd but pleasant apple notes in the finish.

This bottle has No. 4986193 printed on it, so the optimistic volume is turned up a bit, even if dark pessimism lies dormant in the back of my head... The brew is straw colored, the head moderate and both aroma and flavour is thin and watery, but if I really try hard, I find floral notes and alcohol and a weak bitterness. Yaaaawn, what a boooooring beer :(

Bottled. Pale yellow coloured. Weak aroma. Weak flavour. Very thin and boring. Quite ridiculous to put the bottle number on the label of a beer like this.

Bottle. Yellow colour, stable white head. Has OK mouthfeel but is quite tasteless. Bready and acidic aftertaste.
