greystreet80 (191) - Minneapolis, USA - FEB 8, 2004
Belgian Macro-Brews are much like American. Taste is sacraficed for production. Its a shame. This beer was drinkable, but not much more needs to be said about it.

teddybeer (569) - Madrid, SPAIN - DEC 1, 2011
On tap anywhere at Brussels. Golden beer with white head, medium duration and average lacing. Aroma is malty and slightly sweet. Flavour is slightly sweet at the beginning with a final moderate bittery. Carbonation is medium. Body is light.

Finn (2459) - Tromsø, NORWAY - DEC 1, 2011
Boks 0,33l kjøpt og fortært på Brussel lufthavn. Gylden. OK kremaktig skum. Lite aroma. Smaken er søtlig malt. Mye kullsyre. Litt vassen. Antydning til bitterhet i ettersmaken.

White head with a good lace - rather fastly diminishing. Soft, lightly malty aroma. Bitter, lightly sweet aroma. Quite pleasant.

michael-pollack (4536) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 2, 2011
Draught at TND: Aroma of Pils malts, a hint of hops, and a hint of fruit. Poured pale yellow in color with a medium-sized, loose, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Very good lacing. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of light Pils malt, light noble hops, slight corn, and water. Light body. Average texture. Faint Pils malt, noble hop finish is slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Very drinkable, but not all that tasty.

jolo (521) - Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA - OCT 7, 2011
On tap. A clear yellow colour with a medium high, white head. An aroma of malt, yeast, hops and fruit. The taste is medium sweet and light bitter. A light body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a medium long finish.

DutchDrebus (1112) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - SEP 28, 2011
Bottle @ benzai. This is quite a regular pilsener. No real downsides to this one. Decent taste, smell and carbo for a pilsener. Nothing special but a fine drink when you’re at a party or something.

Bierkrug (1643) - Idar-Oberstein (In Senegal), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - SEP 27, 2011
On tap in Brussels at a pub there. This was not as bad as I expected. Maybe because it was on tap? Maybe I have been in Africa and Pakistan too long but anyway. Poured a gold color with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt with some alcohol. Light, too light spice and light malt tatste. Palate was semi-smooth. Just under mid level.

This was just another cheap beer. Terrible it is not but below average it is as well.
