Cara Pils

Brewed by Brouwerijen Alken - Maes (Heineken)
Style: Pilsener
Alken, Belgium

Canned. Rather like a Finnish lager. Sweetish, not unpleasant, but far too low on bitterness. Cheap.

pours wilth little short lived head, no lace. pale yellow. beer aroma, corn adjunct flavored pale lager. nothing wrong - no off flavors or aromas from bad beer, just cheap beer. sharing it with friends, John & Paul from a can I brought back from Brussels.

orange/yello color, no head, bad smelling one, some grainy but most of al quality before das Reinheitsgebot. very bad one.

As far as I know, this is the cheapest beer that can be purchased in Belgium. Of course, as cheap as it is, it still tastes better than the cheapest beers available in America. It is a standard pilsener that tastes like the can that it was brewed in. At least it costs only 1 euro for a pounder.

Offensively skunky aroma, undrinkably metallic taste (at first), 12p a bottle. Positively reeks like it’s passed through the renal system of a yak. Probably. Why do I quite like it? Oddly palatable after your 4th or 5th. Particularly if you’ve just trolleyed a crateful of the stuff from a warehouse in Bruges. Oops.

33cl. Clear golden body, minimalist white head, medium lacing. Very weak light malty aroma, metallic flavour, too less hops, short finish. Should be drunk cold enough.

Golden, white head. Corn aroma, some butter. Grassy flavor with some corn. Watery and thin. Some bitterness in the finish.

Yellow, small white head. Thin and watery. If I really try hard, I maybe can find some hops in the flavor...
