Dec 2009: Strange one this, a Welsh pilsner/lager brewed in Belgium. Brown 330ml bottle, ingrediants listed as; Lager Malt, Saaz Hops, Yeast, Water. It claims to be a Bohemian style pilsner. Poured into my ’La Chouffe’ tulip shaped glass. Very pale, even for a pale lager, light golden yellow with a pure white foaming head on top. No aroma worth mentioning, gets my normal score of 3 for a non-smelling pilsner/lager. Lively and crisp, dry and refreshing, also boring and bland with no flavour what so ever. Thin and watery in the mouthfeel, the 5% ABV was just about detectable, but the beer offered very little to the beerhunter in me.

Bottle, 33 cl. from Rotsaert. Tasted 15.12.2010. Very licht yellow and clear color, with small white head. Aroma sweet, grain-malts, bit hops.. Thin body. Taste bit sweet, grain-malts, and some hopsbitterness. Like the Leireken bio lager more.
