Commercial Description:
Vedett, a blond, light, well hopped premium beer with 5.2% alcohol content, is the cult Duvel Moortgat beer today: following its birth in 1945, it quickly acquired fame and recognition within an intimate circle of insiders in the Antwerp-Brussels region. But do not think for a moment that this oldtimer is thinking about retirement, quite the contrary. For the past years, Vedett has been going through a second childhood in a number of trendy cafés located mainly in big cities. The secret of its charm? A retro-look, a capricious taste, Vedett-allure and the "golden touch" of the brewery. These past years, the brewery armed Vedett with an innovative, hip, young and slightly absurd image. A successful strategy, especially with the youth: Right now, you'll find Vedett in Belgian Delhaize supermarkets and most Flemish cities as well as in Brussels. And the follow-up to the story? You can read it at www.vedett.com.

Bottle. Piss-yellow but nice head. I ordered without having any idea of what it was...silly me. Kinda skunky typical lager aroma, somehow redeeming straw/malt/light hops. Inoffensive but uninteresting.

Bottle 33.cl. Very much like Bel Pils but Vedett is very light compared to its taste. (especially lack of bitterness here). A Vedett however will always be quality compared to an unknown brand on tap.

Bottle. Unremarkable in just about every respect; pours clean golden with adequate head.Caramel and hops on the nose, and slightly more yeasty on the palate. Not the worst.

Bottle, Irish Bar, Brussels. Pale yellow pissy colour. Mental fizziness, a tad sweet but overall a ridiculously bland lager.

Bottle. A very bland lager, which only sticks out because of the high carbonation. Some cardboard in the flavour as well. Not too good. Expected more from Moortgat.

Bottled at Place Vert, York. Pour is lager-like with a huge foamy white head. Aroma is bitter, hops. Taste is lager-like with a not very pleasant metallic finish and not much balance to the taste. A little thin too.
