Standard pale lager made for the Jumbo supermarket chain by Swinkels, good ole Bavaria in other words - and I would not be surprised if this is exactly the same as Bavaria Pilsener (adding that they have a lot of guts to call such a product "Pilsener" to begin with), because why would a macro brewery devoid of any form of artistic pride, inspiration and creativity, yet full of 'Dutch' avarice and efficiency, develop a recipe for a genre that does not even ask for separate recipes? Can from the Jumbo in Ghent, bought in the beginning of this month - so 'aged' for one month after purchasing... Medium sized, regular, even-bubbled, snow white, 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, interrupted but altogether fairly stable head on an obviously crystal clear pale yellow blonde robe with only a few bubbles rising up every now and then. Simplistic aroma of corn - and the water coming out of a can of corn, damp kitchen cloth, plaster, malt sugar and artificial sweetener, something distantly 'fart'-like (sorry) yet nothing truly 'beery'. Neutral to sweet but in any case very one-dimensional, simple 'onset' carrying very little flavour if any at all, lively carb as can be expected but unfortunately not sharp enough to destroy this slick, thin body of unpleasantly thin and superficial graininess, combined with a corn effect I can only compare with chicken food diluted by rainwater. A metallic 'zing' adds even more forlonness, and then the death blow is delivered by a weird, chemical bitterness in the end, possibly hoppy in nature but surely not tasting like actual hops. I am almost thankful that the ending is at least bittering here, but this bittering remains unpleasant, just like everything - nose to taste - that preceded it; it has been at least twenty years since I last had Bavaria's own 'Pilsener' but who knows, it could have been changed in those two decades... In any case this Jumbo version is even cheaper than Bavaria was back in those days - I get the idea of offering a standard pale lager as cheaply as possible in a supermarket chain like Jumbo, but even then they should have checked the quality level and not be simply 'content' with this abominable, chemically tasting concoction. Albert Heijn, Aldi, Lidl and several other supermarket chains have a 'house' pale lager more decent than this, so why should Jumbo settle with this below-average level of 'quality'? I hate to say it, but my expectations of this one were very low - and yet actually tasting it manages to even perform well below those expectations. I had better standard pale lagers from random African or Asian countries than this. Shame on you, Jumbo - but even more on you, Swinkels.

Aroma of grains, some malt, hint of bittering hops. Flavour is light sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Easy, bland Pilsener. Not terrible.

Clear golden beer with a white head. Aroma of mid sweet grainy malt, spicy and dull hops. Taste of sharp spicy hops, grains, cardboard, dull hops. Meh..

Can from Jumbo, at home. Pale clear golden with white head. Sweet cooked-into-oblivian malts, sugar. Sweet and moderate bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation, a bit slimy mouthfeel. Pretty average cheap macro pilsner.

Thuis uit een flesje, gekocht bij deJumbo. Goudgeel, wit schuim. Niks bijzonders, maar lekker koud ook zeker niet verkeerd. Je zou zelfs kunnen stellen dat als in de weging van de bieren ook de prijs mee zou tellen dit niet zo laag zou scoren :)

Bottle. Pale golden color. Grassy, slightly herbal aroma. Old hops. Fizzy. Grainy, grassy, just a bit sweetish flavor. Hint of metal. Mediocre.

F: big, white, good retention. C: gold, clear. A: malty, floral, bit bready, grassy, caramel. T: malty, caramel, bready, bit floral, decent bitterness, bit more on the sweet side yet not bad at least average but I see a lot of low rates here, for me ok, medium body and carbonation, 33cl bottle from Jumbo supermarket in Stein, Netherlands.
