Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing.

Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly hoppy (herbs).
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter, unclean.
Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
I’d heard Bosteels made a pils (in Tim Webb’s guide and elsewhere), but never seen it until now. As expected, it’s a flimsy lager with little redeeming value. I later saw crates of this at Delepine, so it’s definitely still being made...unfortunately. Ulricher from Girardin was certainly better than this, but both are equally confusing products from otherwise respectable breweries.
