Clear pale yellowish beer, big solid creamy broken white head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty malty, grains, not much else. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit sweet first, malty, bit watery, grains, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: bitter, malty, little metallic, more grains.

Sampled from 0.33 l can from 'Delhaize' (Rocourt), best before July 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains, some straw and a touch of citrus. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite grassy taste of grains, straw, some cardboard and hints of citrus, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite grassy and slightly dry finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Wasn't bad if it wouldn't be for that papery taste, at least the smell is quite nice actually.
