Derived from Sasbräu and very likely an alias of it. Made for drinks store Nevejan in (now) Hoogstade, formerly named ND Kerelsbier Licht.
From Nevejan's website:
Ontstaan : De naam Kerelsbier verwijst naar de ‘Kerels van Vlaanderen’ die in 1328 onder Nicolas Zannekin bij Cassel streden tegen de Franse koning. Die stoere Kerels dronken uiteraard stevig bier. Geïnspireerd door dit verhaal ontwikkelden de gebroeders Nevejan dit bier. Gehecht aan oude tradities bracht José Nevejan in 1983 het ‘Kerelsbier’ terug op de markt.
Alcoholpercentage : 6.4%
Kleur : blond
Bewaring : donker en koel bewaren
Beschrijving : Dit bier van lage gisting is gebrouwen op oude en natuurlijke wijze en dient fris gedronken te worden. Deze goudblonde kerel heeft een mouterige geur met een koppig aroma op de achtergrond. De smaak is mals en volmondig met een krachtige hopbitterheid. De uitgesproken afdronk is lang, bitter en vrij hoppig.

Bottled: Yeasty citric apricot aroma. Also a yeasty citric flavor with saome hopbitterness. Medium bodied with a short hoppy finish. (8 3 6 3 13 = 3.3) Tap, Café Morshuis Albergen. Blonde, not filtered because tiny chunks of yeast float in my snifter. Soft but dominant hop character. Flowery, even a bit oily. The hoparoma is killed somewhat because the tap is too cold. Citrus. Also some malt character. Medium bodied. Long hopbitter aftertaste. Lager, full of character. Very good!

2 February 2019. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to tderoeck, 77ships, Jerre, Kevin & Anke! Clear pale golden with a lasting, thin, foamy, white head; little lacing. Aroma of white pepper, white bread, apricot, banana, cheese, soy milk, honey, grain, weird note of plasticine. Taste is light fruity sweet, quite estery, notes of unripe banana & apple peel, some white bread; light to medium grainy bitter middle, bit 'raw' & yeasty, grassy touch, faint honey. Dry, grainy finish, faintly grassy hoppy, lingering white bread & banana. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Okay, better than any industrial Pale Lager or so, but nothing more.

Bottle. Mine speaks of being brewed by Leroy . Guess they are a bit tied together with SAS and Van Eecke. Anyways, same ABV, same name, different label and brewer. Pours clear blonde, head fades instantly. Smell is malty, some lageryeast. bit sweet, mildly chemical. Taste ; enters rather bitter, but turns more intense towards the malty, typical lager backbone. Crispy, feels more natural than the common lagers. Easy drinkable, good carbo.

Commissioned lager classified as a strong lager here, but I think this was intended as a Dortmunder - what is more, I am convinced this is (or was at a certain point in the past) an alias of Sasbräu. Pure golden blonde beer with medium, snow white, creamy head; bready aroma, malt sweet but pure and genuine, some grassy hops, mild bitter finish. Straightforward as any decent lager - but surely one of the best bottom-fermented beers in Belgium.
