Walrave Pick Up Pils

Brewed by Brouwerij Walrave
Style: Pilsener
Laarne, Belgium

25cl, exclusive brewery, from the brewery, not complex brew, yet refreshing, balanced, clear, good head, nothing special

Bottle, 25 cl. (painted bottle) Thanks to David Bles. Aroma fruity, malts, a bit hops. Thin body. Taste malty, a little hops, sweet. Very neutral pilsener.

Draught at the a pub at Laarne (pub with no name, just a pick-up pils sign). Pale golden color. Mild aroma of maize, honey, watermelon and some fruitiness. Light flavor with some maltiness, bitterness and acidity.

Bottled at the bar on the corner just across the street from the brewery gates in Laarne. I think it was called Rosie or something like that. Nice looking bottle. Deep golden coloured. Hoppy and grainy aroma. Sweet malty flavour with a grassy hop finish. Balanced and refreshing.

Hazy yellow-gold (cold haze?); fluffy dirty-white head, leaving shards of lace. Very grainy nose, straw, fresh yeast . Markedly sourish tang around corn flakes, (green)malt in the background; just a bit of sweet, bit herbal. Light bodied, but some grist slickness. Surprising pils. Sourishness is particular, but not off-putting. This ought to have a much wider public. The only small (pils!)brewery in Belgium malting its own!

(Dutch Ratebeermeeting) Aroma of hops and some citrus. Pale, yellow coloured with a thin white head.Hops and citrus in taste. Bit soury. Not too good. Quite neutral palate.

Dutch Ratebeer Meeting. Hazy yellow coloured, dying head. Very hoppy aroma. Flowery flavour and some citrus. The moderate sourness makes it very refreshing. I like the beer and love the bottle!

Clear yellow color, just a bit lacing. Dry malty aroma, some horseblanket. Bit sour citrus taste, little bitter. Odd brew, but not too bad.
