Ulricher Lager Extra

Brewed by Brouwerij Girardin
Style: Pilsener
Sint Ulriks-Kapelle, Belgium

On tap @ Bab festival. Golden color, with white head. A better pils than normaly pilseners. Aroma fruity, malts, hops. Thin to medium body. Taste is good malts, hops, a bit sweet. Good.

0.25 l bottle. Copper color with thick creamy head. Mild malty aroma with toffee. Malty flavor with medium bitterness and bisquity finish. Very basic malty lager.

On tap at In De Oude Pruim, Beersel. Clear golden colour with a medium white head. Malty and fruity aroma. Flavours are bitter throughout with a touch of toffee. Not a bad lager.

Tap at ZBF. One of the better Pilsener brews of Belgium. It got some fruity candy taste and some sweet hoppy aftertaste. At last found the bottle version at the Schans, Uithoorn. This one got more caramel taste, and looks darker.

Light yeasty aroma, bread, some fruits. Bleak golden body, with a small beige head. Light amlty pilsner flavour, some sweetness, light metal.

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a small head. Quite mild aroma with smooth hops, grainy malt, toffee, and some fruitiness. Fruity, softly herby-hoppy flavor with lots of buttery toffee. Medium-bodied, smoothly carbonated palate. A very smooth, malty and pleasant pils, with typical, soft Belgian hops.

(25cl bottle) Hazy, orange colour with a firm and thick foamy white head. Sweet malty, herbal and slightly floral hoppy aroma with notes of apricots, citrus and honey. Sweet flavour, malty, slightly wheaty taste, fruity with a light hoppy background; sweet malty finish, slightly spicy and yeasty with a very shy bitterness. Pleasant, tastes more like a Belgian Ale than a Pilsener.

Bottle: Hazy, golden coloured, medium-sized head, diminishing to a foamy layer; quite strong odd fruity nose (apricots, peaches, pears); sweetish fruity taste, creamy to sticky mouthfeel; short fruity and a little, very little bit bitter finish. Natuurlijk hommel ? Ridiculous !
