It’s tough to stand up to the excellence of most Belgian beers, but this is fine for a refreshing pint. Some batches seem to get a little skunky, though.

Very good beer, but not one of the better pilseners out there. Some idiots in my study abroad group actually mistook this beer for Amstel - its definitely not that bad...
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 BeerLimey (2154) - California, USA - JUL 29, 2002
UPDATED: SEP 28, 2004 It's been some time since I had this one but it's all over England now. I remembered it being great and exclusive in my student days, and although not outstanding certainly one of the better choices for British lager drinkers. Smooth, lightly carbonated, malty lager with a nice crisp hoppiness around it. A little skunkiness in bottled version.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2004 Definitely needed a rerate for this-one. Sparkling yellow body. White rocky head, excellent lace, fully lasting. Yeasty aroma. Lightly bitter flavour.

One of the better massproduced pilsners. Too expensive.

Watery at first, but flavor picks up after a few drinks. I found it to be a little sour but still easy to drink. Very little aroma at all and very light looking for a European beer.

(re-rate) (draught) Not bad. Grassy aromas and easy drinking. However - it’s nothing special for sure.

2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Admiral (524) - Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 13, 2002
Not awful, but hardly worth getting excited over. The Belgians have their own styles, why are they messing around with this kind of thing?

Another typical belgian pils. Almost the same as Jupiler.
