It is difficult to compare Pilsener with Abbeybeer, or others. They are made for different consumption, and aren’t ment to enriche a soul but ’just’ to take the thurst awy. A good Pilsener, not a really commercial, not bad at all

93/20 was the rating when I found this page.... yes, that means that even if this beer scores in the 93rd percentile of ALL pilsners, it only ranks in the 20th percentile of all beers! Oh, those poor pilsners.... are they all really that bad? C’mon, who doesn’t like a good pils once in awhile? This pours with a painfully clear yellow-green body and just a small bed of head on top. The aroma is bread, perfumy hops, wet malts. The taste has a nice mix of sourdough bread and hops, very smooth, good mouthfeel. Like drinking a fresh loaf of European bread. It’s good, for sure; does it beat some of the heavier brews? Sadly, not.

golden, sparkling, white foam, medium bitterness, light body, lively, decent Belgian pils, not the best though

Since it didn’t say anything than Bockr and tasted like a nice Belgian pils, then I assume this was the one. Just like in the picture it had a perfect golden colour and refreshing features with the fine touch of this country.

Draft at Birerria Paradiso in DC. Bright orange with a creamy head. Straightforward stuff, quite a creamy drinkable body. Filtered, not so far off from a Stella or Jupiler. Nice mellow yeast characteristics though. Borderline macro, OK.

7th March 2010. On tap somewhere in Brussels - nice way to finish a long days drinking and another good recommendation from Harrisoni - pale lager master! Cheers Ian! Pale gold beer. Light crisp palate. Very light lagerish malt - just a pleasant hint of hop bitterness. Clean and refreshing light lager!

from tap in bar in Yper, yellow coloured with foamy white head. Smell: some malty sweetness. Taste: refreshing great malts, some sweetness, a bitter balanced note. Very nice pils!

Bottle from our B&B landlady in Kortrijk. Its a golden lager, thin white head. It’s an ok pils with some very tasty hop on the finish. Middle malts are a bit poorish, but I like the bite on the finish, really quite aggressive. Straight forward, but tasty and refreshing enough.

A very nice refreshing pils. Light yellow in colour with good stabile white head. aroma is clean and slight hoppy. taste is refreshing as a good pils must be. The beer has a dry malty flavour and a fine hoppy bitterniss is the end.

20110617 Home (25 cl bottle): A yellow. clear beer with a thin white head. Not to much aroma, some hints of malt, hops and roasted bread. The taste is somewhat sweet and light malty. In the finish some notes of hops. A neutral pilsener.
