One of the most famous Belgiam beers and the worst I have tasted in this country. Poor appearance, vey poor aroma, watery taste. A shame for this country and a beer to forget.

Less bitter than I remember this beer is light on the palate and complexity. Nose is a little soapy.

bottle from el corte ingles, lisbon. Golden color and corn/cereal aroma. Low bitter taste and thin and medium to high carbonated palate.

Had on draft. Arrived with a thin head and plenty of carbonation bubbles visible in the glass. Color was a medium straw yellow. Aroma is slightly floral with some grain and yeast. The flavor is very grainy with some citrus apparent. Lemon in particular. There is also a bit of yeast bite that is not extremely pleasant. Carbonation is high. Overall it is an ok beer but there are much better Euro pale lagers out there. A nice alternative to BMC though.

I am very disappointed in this beer. It has changed. It used to be a reliable clean, crisp and refreshing beer. It has changed. It’s as if the makers have set out to try to reproduce this beer at a cheaper price. It didn’t work. The aroma is jarring - like decaying citrus. The taste is awkward. The beads nicely but is thin and quickly drains onto the top of the liquid like the foam around a toilet bowl. Worst of all, beware of a one-beer headache. Am I mad about this beer, yes. I don’t like when something good is turned into something bad. I’ll never get used to bad management decisions.

Canned and chilled. Heavily carbonated with a thick foamy head when poured. Pale with the usual lager aromas, a hint of honey and light malty flavour. Nothing special and i wouldn’t choose this normally but as mass market lagers go it is drinkable if a bit uninspiring.

This "left over from a party" excuse is beginning to wear a bit thin! 330 ml bottle, poured into a glass. gold with a thin white head. I quite enjoy the biscuity/citrus flavour, and despite this beers mass produced prevalance offending my bohemian unconventionality, I think it’s alright. Just alright.
