12/7/10. On tap. Lighter amber pour with a small khaki head. Light malty aroma with a caramel biscuit flavor that just baaaaarely touches on sour and spice.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
6-pack from the LCBO with a best before date: 26.08.11. At first pour, smells like a pilsner (Saaz hop). Clean light amber-copper colour with a soapy tiny-bubbled off-white head. Decent retention but no lacing. Then, the aroma turns in some malty bread with mild caramel and the hop blending things. When I first had this beer from the bottle a week ago, it tasted like pure corn (which caught me off guard, being a Belgium beer). I then noticed the ingredient: maize. Oh no ! A mass-produced brew from a great brewing country. When poured in a glass, it does not seem as bad. The hop seems to help. Still, not one I was impressed with (seeing we have better amber brewed here - with no corn).

30cl botle at Restaurant Argentina, Zeist. Clear amber beer with almost no head. Lightly sweet taste, not too refreshing. I wouldn’t want to drink more than two of these on one night!

33 ml can, poured into my leffe goblet. 1 finger head. Looks like apple juice, clear. Slight manure smell, not in a really bad way. Tastes of citrus fruits. Used to love this beer before discovering craft/real ales. Still like it though. Could drink a few but not lots.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Amber pour, grassy/mineral nose. Flavor was a touch metallic, witb some sweet caramel malts. Very light bitter finish with a cooked veggie aftertaste.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
amber with a thin beige head, medium body, high carbonation.
clean but boring. some amber malts and noble hops present, but seems targeted more at mass-market "drinkability" than flavorful beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Decent pour with reliable head and a dark gold body. Aroma of malty bread with some carbon sweetness. Taste is a lot of grain with just a hint of hops. Very smooth mouthfeel. Refreshing and simple, very drinkable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Poured clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate malt and earthy yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
