Bottle. Alc. 5.0% Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, grain, light to moderate yeasty, yeast. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (011007)

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2008 Bottled. A yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet malty and so is the flavor. For me the flavor is too sweet - it’s almost sticky in the mouth. [4/3/4/3/7=2.1]

Updated on draft as Belgo Pils made for Belgobaren, at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A golden beer with a thick orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malty and hops as well as hints of hay. The flavor is sweet with a hoppy note, leading to a dry hay finish.

(Bottle 25 cl) Pale golden with a rather pretty head. Not only a rather strong pilsener but also one of the more refined with an almost perfumy palate. Everything kept in balance by a good hop-bite. 200997

From tap at Taverne Manneken Pis. Pours pale yellow with a small white head, leaving a nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is crisp grassy. Light citrusy and crisp hoppy flavoured, thin to no malt presence. Thirstquencer. Dry and crisp hoppy finish.

Draught. Yellow colour, big creamy white head. Aroma is hops, malts and quite pleasant overall. Flavour is hops, grass and some malts. A very wellbalanced pils from Belgium.

Bottled. Golden coloured with average head. Raisiny malt aroma. Sweet and lightly grassy with clean, yet soft, mouthfeel. Some bitterness. A decently well made lager, but without character.

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2008 2007-09-21, draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007 as Vanuxeen Belgo Pils, 5-2-5-2-10=24
Light blond color. Very common Pils, a bit sweetish.

Blond color. A simple Pilsner, but with a light fresh Saaz aroma and flavor; just too weak at the end.

Bright golden. Fresh, mossy herbal hop. Crisp palate, but only a low level bitterness. Some butter across the tongue. It’s close, but really never comes together.

25cl bottle from Noel Cuveliers. Pale gold, thick white head. Bit thin and tasteless. Some hop and carbonated metallic bite on teh finish, but mostly poor.

Draught
Very pale yellow, not much head. Sweet lemony hoppy nose. Sweet malty with grassy hops. Another bulk lager.
