On tap at In de Wildeman. Clear golden colour, dense white head. Aroma of butter and sour mash, not really good. Flavour is sweet, light malty, light sour and light buttery, light bitter finish. Watery texture. Thin. Nah..

33cl, from the brewery, not complex brew, yet refreshing, balanced, clear, small head, nothing special

Tap at ZBF 2009. Golden lager one of the better ones in Belgium. Well balanced bitternesh as supposed to be.

Blond color. I expected a lame beer, instead it’s a pleasant Pils: some malt aroma, creamy; even better malt flavor, with a cereal and honey touch, possibly even crispy, and a good quality hopping. Easy but pleasant.

Bottle from beermerchants.com. Gold with a fizzy white short lasting head. Like a pils really, which is not my favourite style of beer and I can take this or leave it really. Quite mild finish, drinkable but a bit average thanks.

Bottled, 330ml from BEERmerchants. Gold with fizzed head. I wasn’t very keen on this one, a particularly sweet and artificial flavour, it felt like they were going for a fresh pine nut note and reached for the bleach. Dead yeasty notes. Not my thing at all.

Bottle @ The Dovetail, London.
Pours clear golden with a small, staying, frothy, white head. Small floaties, good amount of bubbles. Aroma has yeast, wheat, sweetness and some pine hops. Light mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, some soft hoppiness and a little wheat and biscuity malts. Okay.
