Slag Lager

Brewed by Brouwerij Slaghmuylder
Style: Pale Lager
Ninove, Belgium

A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is sweet and sour (probably from brewing cereal). The flavor is also sweet and sour but with a rather hoppy end with some oily hints, but on a sour corn background. The body is thin.

Bottled. Clear golden, dense but fair sized head. Aroma of hay, viola and butterscotch. Medium sweet with fair amounts of hops. Diacetyl gives cellary butterscotch tones. Light-medium bodied with reasonable bitterness.

Draught @ ZBF 2009, St.-Niklaas, Belgium.
Clear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, sour malt notes, light hoppy, citrus, light to moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090307]

Belgian yeast aroma. Clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is also a lot like Belgian yeast. Some bitterness. Tastes a lot like a Belgian blond. Not a pils, but not bad either.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Sweet malts along with sweet fruits as well as minor notes of yeast and metal. Flavour is sweet malts, very fruity and also has some slight notes of yeast. Quite ale-like lager.

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.

Clear golden with medium white short lasting head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity notes. Sweet malty flavor with ripe fruits, yeast and caramel notes. Not your typical lager luckyly.

On tap at Bruxellensis. Pale gold, lasting white head. It’s an easy drinking pils with some hop on the finish. OK.
