Serve in Lager glass

Bottle. Pours a gold color with a white head. Aroma of malt and corn. Taste is watery with a hint of malt and a corn finish.

650 ml. bottle. Pours an overly exhuberant head of short duration, with some lacing, over a clear, golden brown(SRM 15) body......nose of light malts, honey, toffee....tastes of light malts, dry with slight bitter finish....mouth feel is light, watery, carbonation rather high. Rather simple, not particularly good.

Clear amber. Ample head. Pleasing smell of lager, grain and sour notes. Taste is rather thin with a sour finish. Whole bunch of meh.

Had this twice... both in that classic bottle. However, the second pairing ended up being extremely sour. Not much more that hasn’t been said, but I was actually disappointed given my first try, which was a lunch time pairing in NYC with a braised beef dish at Les Halles. Nothing spectacular, light malt sweet, but this bottle was very sour... I guess this is why Belgians, rather than the French are known for their beer prowess.

Nice light copper almost brass in color. Smells and tastes very refreshing with mild bitterness throughout. Faint caramel aftertaste with very soda like carbonation. Overall, very drinkable but lacks anything interesting. Good BBQ drinking beer.

Pours a medium gold with a thick foamy white head. Very light grainy malty aroma, Thin body with a grainy cardboard flavour and very light tart apple finish and a sourish aftertaste

I love the color. Its an ambiguous amber/red/brown...../beer color? Simple and lite aroma of citrus and good old CO2. Flavor is bland if not watered down malt and trailing yet lite bitterness. Not a lot to say other than, this was a really expensive disappointment. Not that I wont drink it though.

(500ml bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of corn, grain, soap, and mustiness. Flavor of toasted grain and grass with a dry, metallic finish.
