Plastic Bottle: Pours a clear copper color with a thin white head. The nose is metallic with some husky corn notes; lots of metal and very dirty malts. The flavor has a moderate body although with a corn and bad spent yeast note in the tail. Very rough, lots of off-flavors. Scary. Like bread on its way out.

Nov 7, 2009 High hopes on this one. It is after all a "Premium Belgian Beer". How could it not be. Plastic screw-top bottle and all. Very pale straw yellow and a decent white persistant head that leaves nice stringy lacing. Light sweet light malts slightly papery aroma. Honey.
Low on the bitering hops for ballance. Tart slightly dry aftertaste. A sweet pale lager.
And by "sweet", I dont mean....SWEET !

Jul 29, 2009 Plastic Bottle. The taste is refreshing, light, and very enjoyable. This beer has a very good balance of malts and hops, a little more on the malts side, but still very good. The beer was enjoyable, a good depth of flavor with the belgian yeast strands and the great depth of balance in the flavor.

May 9, 2009 Pale golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is fairly cidery with a touch of pale malt. Light bitterness with a bit of herbal character as well. Thin-bodied and quite cidery tasting with a plasticy bitterness. Man, this is like drinking garbage. Truly vile stuff.

Feb 6, 2009 I picked up this oddity at the Binny’s in Orland Park, IL, for $0.99. It came in a green plastic 16.9 oz twist top bottle and listed the ABV at 5% rather than the site’s posted 6%. Frankly, I was surprized to see it listed as a Belgian Ale. It seems more like a cheap pale lager. Looks like one, golden bodied with a fizzy head that quickly reduced to a film. Smells like one, a bready, corny sweetness with a hint of pale malt and some grassiness. Tastes like one, some bland sweetness and a dose of grassy/herbal bitterness followed by a touch of metallica. The bottle calls it a "Premium Belgium Beer." I call it something that I won’t be drinking again, despite its cheapness.

Nov 20, 2008 Scary soft pffft from the twist-off plastic bottle cap, but pours a straw colored liquid with a fluffy white head. Strong herbal to skunky hops. Trying to decide which way this one is going, a fresh noble hops or light struck mess. Actually settles down with some time, leaving a some minty hops along with a slightly buttery pale malt scent. A bit too much of a mess to think the smell is more deserving. Dry grain and flour start the flavors. Some herbal/wintergreen hops join in the gluey mixture. Fairly sharp bitterness in the finish, with fresh cut grass and weeds. Alcohol comes out a touch in the finish and linger. Very much like a eastern euro lager. I certainly would never have guessed this came from Belgium
