77ships (2156) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - APR 20, 2013
25 cl. bottle @ home. BBF date is smudged / unreadable. Pours a clear amber orange, head is oddly almost instantly gone, white but only very brief within 1 min. zero bubbles, actually looks a bit like a lambic or something odd. Sweet pale lager aroma, very homogenous, lightly fruity, corn, light honey,… Taste is odd pale lager hay, corn, sweet cornflakes, metallic, artificial honey, fake white sugar fare, light basement and chunk of dust, more sweet, lightly oddly bitter finish, touch other grains,… Little carbonation, fake honey, lightly sticky body,… Actually this is better than it sounds, it is like a slightly better pale lager, in that category there is a lot worse stuff,… Actually expected worse,… The rating seems a bit unfair because it clearly promises a lager on the label and you know what that means in Belgium. Maybe this stuff is better now than it used to be, other ratings are all from 2011 & one from 2010.

Bottle. Pale yellow color. Slight grassy hop and light malt aroma, very pedestrian. Very sweet, malty flavor. Just ok. Quite like a major industrial lager.

Countbeer (2852) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - AUG 5, 2011
Bottle: White airy head on top of a clear golden yellow colored beer. Smell malts, some hops and herbs. A typical smell. Taste is pretty fruity, didn’t find that in the smell. Also taste hops, malts, yeast, grains, bitter and some herbs. Nice bitter aftertaste. Low carbo, soft tingly mouthfeel, medium body and a light watery texture.

A pale blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, a sweet chalky malt, German hops, so-so. In mouth, a bland sweetish eurolager, with mineral notes, short and boring. Bottle at Mondial 2011, June 11 2011.
