Slag Lager

Brewed by Brouwerij Slaghmuylder
Style: Pale Lager
Ninove, Belgium

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Bottle @ Delices et Caprices, Brussels. Pours clear yellow with an egg white head. Very grassy and grainy nose. Flavor is very hoppy and crisp. Nice malt base as well. Medium bodied. Very clean. Good one

Bottle: Hazy & golden, big - "really whipped-cream-like" (slag = whipped cream) white head that very slowly collapses, slightly yeasty-phenolic and fruity, but mainly herbal-hoppy nose, some minerals detectable, too; sweet-bitter flavour, really soft; light herbal-hoppy and yeasty-malty finish. What a rarity: a tasty and well balanced Belgian Lager.....

<i>Bottle at Belgo, London</i>
Blond color. I expected a lame beer, instead it’s a pleasant Pils: some malt aroma, creamy; even better malt flavor, with a cereal and honey touch, possibly even crispy, and a good quality hopping. Easy but pleasant.

Comments: A pretty decent Belgian pils really, sweet as is the case with most of the country’s attempts, but still crisp, highly carbonated and well hopped.

Belgian yeast aroma. Clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is also a lot like Belgian yeast. Some bitterness. Tastes a lot like a Belgian blond. Not a pils, but not bad either.

Tap at ZBF 2009. Golden lager one of the better ones in Belgium. Well balanced bitternesh as supposed to be.

Clear golden with medium white short lasting head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity notes. Sweet malty flavor with ripe fruits, yeast and caramel notes. Not your typical lager luckyly.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear yellow with a rough white head. The aroma is sweet malty - rather clean actually. Medium body, sweet clean malts and a little metal. Discreetly bitter. More like a German Pils. 230310
