I had one, maybe two of these on the patio in front of a bar in the historic part of Brussels. 25 cl bottle, I could have tossed down 10 of these. Mostly grain in taste with some citrus and bread. Not bad, enjoyed while sitting in view of some architecture in the company of my two adult children, a time I will not soon forget.

Bottle at de Grebande Winning. Pours golden with small white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is straw and grass. Light body, straw, skunk, crisp finish, decent.

Rocky white head left a a froth on a highly carbonated pale golden coloured body. Faint malt aroma. Medium bodied, foamy & clean. Light malt, cardboard & grain tastes with a bitter finish. Pants

Draft at Marcel, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. A clean pale golden pour with a long-lasting, thick, snow-white head. Aroma is porridge, iron filings, lemon, a hint of honey. Dry, medium body. Slight bitterness and, surprisingly, long-lasting. I like it, despite the hate it gets around here.
