Nice, sweet finish. Very refreshing. At only 4% ABV though (British canned version) a little too weak.

Neither good nor bad, a reasonable low alcohol lager.

Despite being the best looking beer, and its cans, and bottles make it stick out at any store, it really isn’t that great a beer, and its aftertatste is something quite different to beer. I dont know whats put in it these days, but it isn’t natural.

[2164-20090517] Tap. Fruity grains aroma. Clear, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. More fruity grains in the flavour with some yeast and some tangy hops. Medium body is a little bitter. Drinkable, fair.

Parket (544) - Bruges, BELGIUM - JUN 23, 2010
from tap, a pint. (higher rating maybe becaus it wasn’t from a can but from tap?), golden/yellow colour, very small and lacing white head. Smell: a bit industrial. Taste: smoothy, refreshing, grainy, fruity, a bit yeasty, strawberry, dry. Simular to a good pilsener.

For me, it’s okay for a bland lager session. nothing outstanding but standard pub fare.

The flavor is the best thing about this beer. It has more bitternes/hops than most beers of the style. Fosters is more characteristic than the normal beers I drink.

Not the best if you're going for great tasting beer. But if your aim is to get bolloxed, you can keep drinking this forever. Good stuff.
