COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our pils is a sturdy, hoppy and blossomy blond beer, which is top fermented. Brewed from 100% barley malt. You really should have a couple of these in your fridge. On tap only in our tasting room and Cafe De Balie.

Bottle at home. Really nice pilsener. Creamy orange colour with nice foam head. Orange, citrus flavour with hints of marsepijn. Nice prickly mouthfeel with buttery finish. One of the first pilseners I’ve really enjoyed (along with the one in Oslo). I should really make it over to their brewery soon as it’s across town for me...

Had it on tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with a thick white head. Lots of citrus on the nose, with some sourness. Flavor is more of the same with a refreshing zest that makes this one of the most intriguing pils I have had, if it is indeed an actual pils. Really great beer from a good brewery.

Good white head on a slightly hazy, light golden body. I cant get past the lemon on the nose to smell anything else. Crisp taste which is what I look forward to in a pilsener though the flavour is not exactly to my taste, maybe some brett in there.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - DEC 1, 2008
Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours a pale godlen body with a thin white lacing. Flemish cherry nose with belgian spices. Light dry acidic woodiness. Decent.

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - NOV 3, 2008
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a huge white head. Earthy and spiced yeasty phenolic aroma. Brett-ish and dry flavoured with a mild citric note, dry though and light wheat-like with a nice hoppy note. Dry and yeasty phenolic finish.

SHIG (2530) - Osan, SOUTH KOREA - NOV 2, 2008
Bottle: Poured a hazy orange with a large bubble filled white to slight off white head. Aroma is sour fruit and grass. Taste is citrus fruit with a floral hint. Finish is bitter.

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - OCT 29, 2008
A hazy yellow colored beer, with great foamy white head. The aroma of grassy malt, with some bitter hops and fruits. The taste of some bitter hops, with malt. There are fresh fruits like citrus, lemon and some flavors of flowers. The aftertaste is long bitter.

DrDavid (957) - Johnson, Vermont, USA - OCT 29, 2008
(Bottle). Sweet ripe fruit aroma. Light golden body, large fluffy white head. Flavor is sweet and fruity, then transitions to yeasty with some bitterness. Quite different from the usual Bohemian pilsener, but tasty and pleasant.
