| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Aug 23, 2009 Great, I will open this after all the lengths someone went to get me this after hearing how much I Ioath it. Yes, I enter this review completely biased after watching numerous fellow Airmen drink this while I enjoyed Duval and other great Belgian ales at the "disco/dance" bar way back in 1988. "Made from the finest piss water of the Meuse River"... will that statement stand up 21 years later? Here I go, may there be mercy on my soul or at least my palate:
Clean pale golden hue with a fizzy light head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of light noble hops, corny DMS and wet grains, some herbal like spicy esters and a tinny metallic vapour. The flavor is pretty much as expected, grainy and veggie overtones with just a light spicy and grassy note. The finish is minerally and aspirin laden. The mouth feel is lively enough although far too thin body even for the genre. Well at least the bottle is not skunked, for it is what is is, for the masses pale lager that is sadly the number one selling beer in the great beer country of Belgium. I feel the monks shedding a tear as I type this and I see the faces of brothers in arms long removed but never completely forgotten. gam (1092), brisbane, Australia
