2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a pale yellow with small white head that dissapates down to almost nothing. Light lacing, light aroma, and medium carbonation. Taste is crisp grainy malt and finishes light grassy hops.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the Raleigh Times, Raleigh. Decent pour, a straw gold with a lively body, moderate head. Faint malts and fruits in the nose, dry hops for sure. The body was a bit underwhelming, a tad watery and fading fast. The crisp dry taste that leads things off fades just as quickly, leading to a disappointing pils.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Experienced from a 11.5oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a straw-colored gold with a mild white head. The nose carries adjuncty notes similar to American macro-brewed light lagers. Disappointing, to say the least. The palate is an improvement, showing clean pilsner malt notes that give an otherwise painfully boring and lifeless beer some character, however restrained. Carbonation is assertive, but not out-of-style. The finish is clean and crisp, but not as insipid as the aforesaid American lager offerings. Overall, disappointing, but not utter garbage.

This is a mediocre Belgian style Ale. I don’t have too much more to say on this one. Overall, I wasn’t too impressed.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
24/09/2010 - 25cl @ Opening night Karakterbierfestival Bissegem
Clear straw yellow beer with fine white head, disappears quick. Aroma is sweet, some hops. MF is a little sparkling, watery texture, thin body. Taste is a little hoppy, some malts. Aftertaste is pretty dry, a little sour. Oh well, Belgium is not a lager country, never will be. I didn’t really choose to taste this, was just included in the entry fee.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
From the 11.2 fl. oz. bottle no. 39912. The pour is pale yellow and slightly hazy with about two inches of quick fizzy head that diminishes almost to a ring. The aroma bursts with grains, thin hops, and a bit of a skunky quality. The taste is about the same with a creamy texture and a slight hoppy finish. Nothing special here. This shows that not every Belgian beer is a good one.
