Bottled (from thebelgianbeershop.com). Pale yellowish golden colour with mediumsized white fluffy head. Aroma is grains, grass, some bready malts. Flavour is quite much the same. Quite grainy aftertaste. Very biting and crisp carbonation. as it warms up it gets some slight metallic notes as well.

Pale straw color, even lighter than most pilseners. Modest white head, no lacing. Aroma is grainy with accents of grass and maybe some esters. Flavor is softer and sweeter than your average pils, with honeyed malt and a touch of stone fruit. Hops are rather subdued. Carbonation is high, body is medium-thin. Drinkable and flavorful but not crisp or hoppy enough.

[1933-20090104] 330mL can. Sweet hay and yeast straw aroma. Clear, yellow body with a big quick foamy bubbly head and some lacing. More hay and sweet corn straw and yeast in the flavour. Light-medium body. Bland but better with something like dinner than on it’s own.

Bottle, 5.2%. Almost clear yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour has some citrus fruit, quite anonymous. Low to medium bitterness, slightly rough.

Pours perfectly clear yellow with a foamy head. Lemon vinegar and sour aroma. Tastes a bit sour and metallic.
