Bottle. Good beer bar has this as their "house" beer - and is the cheapest beer they serve. Not really a surprise after having it. Unremarkable malts, almost corn-like, skunky-sweet. Certainly better than some of the alternatives, but I’d pass on this if I could.

A golden pour with a floury head fake little head. How terrible forced carbonation is. Who likes it? Aroma is of corn with perhaps some caramel, but more likely just sugar. Tastes the same, sweet and a little corny - but there’s a faint herb aroma which could have been unintentional and due to the pub rather than the beer. Thin, fizzy and offering no finish. Basically it’s swill.

Attention France: It is no longer necessary to export this beer to Belgium, we’ve got quite a few decent lagers ourselves, but thank you for trying!

Has a bit of toilet water to it, skunky as well. get it fresh if you have to try ti as it comes in a green bottle.

Keg. Firebug, Leicester. Thin white head, gold body. Corn, wheat. Bitter.Bitter finish.

Quick review; Crystal clear with a big, white foamy head. Hint of vanilla covered with corn. Kinda sharp in the begining, but mellows out and the corn does not dominate the whole thing. A hint of grass. Good, but slightly boring.

Bottle. Golden clear with a white head. Smells of malts and grain. Taste is fruity with some bitterness in the finish. Very standard lager

Bouteille de 25 cl. Couleur or, mousse correcte. Une pils de grande distribution parmi tant d’autres. Un chouya plus raffinée que la Kro. Elle me semblait meilleure il y a quelques années, lorsqu’elle était un peu plus forte. Trouvée à Intermarché - Montigny en Gohelle.
