UPDATED: MAY 10, 2009 Bottle 25 cl. Pours a pale golden with a small white head and almost no aroma. Taste is pretty watered down, with some malt, some hops and some citrus to be find somewhere between the water. This used to the house-beer at my local bar for years, but now they don’t sell it anymore and this is my last bottle ever, I think. This is a refreshing, drinkable beer, not one to sit back and enjoy. Just a party- or lawnmower-beer

Bottle at home. Very mediocre pilsener. Tastes little to nothing and quite dry to the mouth. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Bottle thanks to Countbeer. Clear yellow / golden color, white head. Smell and taste malts and grains, lightly bitter. Nothing exciting.

Low expectations for this that were far surpassed. Not sure if everyone else is rating to the style this beer is in or not, but it is a Pils. Light straw pour. Large head that, expectedly, dies down quickly. Little bit of lacing left behind. Hop and malt aroma. Just the slightest caramel aroma. Smooth mouthfeel with a sweet malty and bitter hoppy taste. Tastes like a little brother to Budvar. Nice example of a mass Pils. And better than most of the others.

Cheap pils department, and it lives up to the expectation. Malty aroma, rather sweet, no real bitter taste, the works. Nothing special, not horrible either. (from 0,25cL bottle)

Bouteille de 25 cl, titre à 5,2%. Blond très pale, mousse moyenne pour une lager. Un nom et une étiquette qui font un peu peur... Sans surprise, une pils au goût standardisé, oui, j’ai bien dit "goût" car elle en a quand même un peu! Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert.

Light yellow coloured, medium head, sticks ok to the glass. Smell is malts, spices, citrus. Taste is a bit earthy-watery, malts, spices. Malty pilsner.

Bottle: White foamy head. Clear yellow golden beer. Typical pilsner smell. Malts, hops, water, spices, etc. You know it.

bottle, yellow colour with white head. Smell: cheap and a bit skunk. Taste: bitter, grassy, yeasty and very artificial taste. Not too bad for such a cheap beer but nothing special.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear golden color with a foamy white head that laces. Aroma of cheap malts and some faint hops. Flavor is watery, grainy and slightly bitter with some artificial elements. Boring.
