Can. A golden beer with a fast diappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light malty notes. The flavor is sweet with notes of dust, brewing mash, and a touch of malt, leading to a dry metallic finish. The body is thin.

(Can 33 cl) Very pale golden, fairly creamy head that leaves a neat lacework. No body, only a metallic tang. Word is that this is the cheapest pilsener in Belgium. It sounds and tastes very likely. 290705

From a can from an all night shop in Antwerp shared in my hotel room with Mesandsim. Palest lager I’ve ever had. Thin white head. Bad sweaty empty, grainy aroma. Really bad. I mean it has no body or flavour, touch of lemon on end that’s it.

Can. Clear quite thin golden colour. Rubber grainy aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Grainy strangely yeasty flavour. The finish though is pleasantly bitter.
