Can from a little store in Brussels. Has the typical, flat, eggy malt character found in canned lagers. This is just another average commercial Belgan lagers - better than UK macro stuff but not by much.

Draught, Bruxelles, Belgium. Golden with a bubbly, white head. A sourish aroma with some maltiness. Rather thin with some hoppy notes.

Pours looking like a standard lager. Decent head and lacing, though. A cardboard aroma is surprisingly followed by a fairly drinkable liquid, although a certain metallic twinge sneaks in. Good stuff for the style (piss-poor macro lager).

Can. An average pale lager. For some reason belgians drink this beer a lot instead of good belgium beer which cost about the same.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear golden colour with a small white head. Has a malty aroma. Malty grainy flavor. Has a sweetish malty finish. Overall quite drinkable, not my favourite.

Bottle. Light golden, small and fully diminishing head. Light to moderate malty and lightly sweetish aroma, faint grassy hoppyness. Body is light to medium, malty – lightly grainy and lightly sweetish flavor, faint grassy hoppyness. Finish is short to average, malty – lightly grainy and dryish, faint hoppyness. Light-bodied and dryish lager, that’s it.

Can from Brussels vending machine. A pretty good brew for a Belgian "shit" macro. Pours clear and pale with a thin white head. Weak arouma but a nice clear taste. Simple and basic but not bad.

Forse noi italiani pensiamo, errando, che dal paese di manneken ci siano solo prelibatezze...
