Bottle at home. Aroma is grainy malt, straw, a bit grassy. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Body is light. Average but not a bad Pilsener.

Pours a mostly clear golden colour and a white-ish head. Aroma's: fruity, light malty. Flavour is light sweet, fruity, a touch bitter. Light bodied. Proper carbonation. Light moderate bitter finish. Decent Belgian pilsner, but nothing remarkable.

3 May 2018. Bottle at Stokerij, Ghent. Cheers to Anke's birthday!
Pours clear golden with a diminishing, frothy, white head. Weakish aroma of cereal, wet grain, honey, white bread, some 'spelt'. It tastes light malty & bready sweet and light to medium grainy bitter, bit yeasty with a metallic touch. Short, dry, grainy finish, lingering iron. Light body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Hmm, nope.

Bottle at home. Clear golden with white head. Sweet malts, grain and dry grass with thin hints of honey and dried fruits. Moderate sweet and light bitter. Under medium body and low carbonation. A bit more carbonation would be nice. The finish comes in a cardboard box. X-D

Gluten-free ’pilsje’ (Belgian / Dutch pale standard lager) under this organic brand carrying the Certisys logo; this brand, originally brewed at Silenrieux for a beer company called Guldenboot, has moved to Strubbe ten years ago already (I’m getting old) and is now brewed for a company called Thylbaert, but it is still the same people who are behind it, apparently. Medium thick, ’papery’ lacing, off-white, regular head, moussy and remaining (thinly) closed for a long time, over a cristal clear, pure golden blonde beer with ochre-ish ’old gold’ tinge and lively sparkling. Aroma of wet, sweet breakfast cereals, white sugar sweetness even, old and dry white bread, very clear tin-like iron in a completely non-natural way (the ’hand test’ leaves nothing to the imagination), soaking wet paper, whiffs of grass, apple juice, dull sourish grains, whipped cream, something very vaguely sulfuric and, when warming up, an odour of fried broccoli which I suspect is linked to pasteurization. ’Clear’ and clean, grainy onset, malt sweet in a simple and thin way all the way through with that typical ’standard lager grainy sourishness’ underneath but the malt sweetness clearly prevailing, unsurprisingly very metallic, a bit ’oilier’ than average for the style with just a bit more body to it, faint minerally flavors, ending the same way as it began but with a dash of late yet not unpleasantly drying, grassy hop bitterness added, almost (but not quite) balancing the initial malty sweetness and even a tad peppery after a while, albeit in a dull, non-aromatic kind of way. I can see why gluten-free beers can be useful to gluten-intolerant people, thus targeting a very specific segment of the market, but why is this idea so rarely applied to anything else than standard pale lager? Because this is still, in spite of the global craft beer revolution, the most consumed style by a wider audience, I assume. This one has some flaws, but I must admit I had worse in this style, gluten-free or not; at least it seems to be all malts and has a certain hop bitterness in its tail, both of which cannot be said of the utterly boring pool of larger ’pils’ brands in this country. People who are not much into beer often ask me about the ’best pils’ in Belgium - not a very relevant question in a country that has produced a lot of good beers in any number of styles except for pale lager; this, to me personally, is at least not the worst and even though I will never fully understand the immense popularity of this boring beer style, I would recommend Leireken Pils (as it is now simply called - replacing ’Leireken Lager’ and its variants) over the likes of Jupiler, Maes or Primus.

Pours clear blonde, ok white head. Smell is malty, rather sweet. intense for a lager. Taste is less intense, mild bitterness, bit malty touch. not bad, but certainly not great, and I don’t see why strubbe thinks they have to make this many different lagers, without any of them being unique towards one another.
