Tasting at cads hotel. Pat rated this for me. Yellow colour, medium sized head. Aroma of skunky hops and raw malts. Taste is grainy malts, not really balancing hops.

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

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.

Served chilled from a 330ml can, 4.7% abv, that I picked up at a local kiosk. Slowly fading, white head, clear, yellow-gold body. Smell of sour malts. Vile taste of vegetables mixed with some kind of sweetness. Very dry. Drain pour (hotel room, Brussel 06.05.2011).

(Canned) Clear, paleish golden with a small, white head. Corny-malty aroma with light acidity, and clear cheap adjuncts presence. Grainy-starchy, lightly white-vinous-sourish flavor with hints of pear, and not much barley. More like cereals in liquid form. Light, but not quite watery body with lowish carbonation. This seems to be the lowest you can go in Belgium: the (probably) cheapest adjunct brew in the land of (practically) free beer...

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

Canned(500ml). -from some shop in Antwerpen.
Yellow/golden coloured, airy white head, rice and cereals in the nose. Weak malty, faint hoppy and bready with notes of cereals and maize. Light salty finish. Watery and tasteless.

Yellow and clear. Has a white head, fully diminishing. Aroma of odd malts and faint alcohol. Flavor starts light sweet and finish sharp bitter. Dry texture and lively carbonation.
