25cl bottle: BB 30th Apr 2020. Drank at home on 6th Mar 2020. Bright and clear golden pour, snow white head that tried to stay a while. Light malty front with not much hop action, some grassy esters in the nose. Better than i expected to be honest.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Jupiler Pure Blonde (by Brasserie Piedboeuf (AB InBev)):
Aroma: 5/10, Appearance: 2/5, Taste: 4/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 7/20, MyTotalScore: 2.1/5

2/IV/19 - 25cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 4/II/19 (I just never could bring myself to drinking this stuff...) - (2019-426)
Clear pale blond yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, sweet impression, some banana, fruity touch, some marzipan, though that last thing will probably be the oxidation from letting this beer get past it's prime. :p MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: malty, little acidic, soft bitterness, banana peel, metallic. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, grains, hay, slightly sourish, metallic, very mediocre.

Lichtgeel bier zonder schuim. Smaak is heel licht bitter hoppig en verder niets. Minder smaak zou goed bij de omschrijving passen.

330 ml. weird can – looks & feels like an energy drink can. Looks smaller than 330 ml. Clear pale apple golden, soapy collapsing white head. Nose is apple, cardboard, soggy cereal, esters,… Taste is soggy cereal, stale white bread, cardboard, watery, cereal,… Not a fan but well done for that it set out to be, boasting 50 % less calories at a noticeably lower ABV is kind of a rip-off.

AB InBev is conquering the market again, now with a low-calorie version of the 'national' Jupiler - what a good omen! Pours clear golden with a thinning, foamy, white head. Weak aroma of corn, grain, white bread waiting to be baked, can iron (even from a bottle), artifical hops, wet cardboard. It tastes light maize-like sweet and light to medium grainy bitter, already metallic. 'Empty' & short finish, more wet cardboard, a bit grainy, very faintly hoppy. Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Hardly an aroma or taste to speak of, body is Spa Barisart. I guess Belgium has its own Bud Light now.

Ever since I refuse to sponsor anything by Inbev, ooh irony to post this on ratebeer… Let me rephrase that, ever since I refuse to do anything that is beneficial to Inbev, like paying for it, I'd though i'd never get to try this. Untill the local store pushed it into my hands as a freeby. Well, at least it's COSTING them money, rather than getting them money... The full 2 cents this must have cost in production. Take THAT loss, Inbev !!! Once again i'm deliberatly opening a bad beer , just to get those numbers up on my acount. Or to warn people about it's grotesqueness. Or because I'm a pittyfull beersnob that likes to shit on beers that aren't small. Pick whichever pre-judgemental opinion you'll like. All I know is that, sadly enough, the world doesn't care what we write, as is proved by the great amount of shit beers that keeps being released and sold. Now, Inbev 'created' ( or copied? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaihyU48O-4&feature=youtu.be ) an Industrial lager with less alcohol ( so, more wattered down, I assume ) and thus less calories. great, that's at least less drunk people ! Or wait, why make this alcoholic? Oh, thats right, the addicts. Mikkeller released an amazing non alcoholic, vitamin-forward beer I really love, ideal after sports indeed. Inbev's counterpart is to give the exhausted sportsman or woman alcohol, although being it less ( so they can sell more ) . Who-ever works out, and than drinks crap like this, didn't understand the first thing of helth and self-care; in an ideal world, this beer wouldn't be sold. Ever. Sad part is, as mentioned before, this WILL sell, cause there's just enough people getting tricked by this and other things alike… Sigh… Once again, i'll repeat i'm happy this is a freeby, i'd be ashamed if I were to have paid for this shit. Just wanted to get that very clearly out there in the open, trough this nice little intro. Hopefully, at least one person's opinion might be changed by it, ever... Anyway. I poured the beer in my cantillon glass. Ha, that's a punk move. But whatever, even Jean is posting pics of him holding Jupiler. If not even the God respects his religion… The 'thing' looks Freakin' clear, pale blonde ( you knwo, the 'natural' look ) with a very stable ( foam enhancers ) white head, pillowy in texture. Some lacing as well. Smell is weak, sweet, Industrial ( maltsyrup ) , tad crisp. At least it is decently fresh, and not DMS loaded or other problematic stuff you can find in an actual artisanal ( but bad quality ) lager. Also it's not loaded with diacetyl, such as the cristal was I drank a few days ago. Hey, this is actually not the worst smell ever. It's just.. Fabricated. Taste is weak. Immidiate strike of Co2, high amounts, reminding of sparkling water ( spa ) . Some maltextract in there. I do actually agree with my own pre-judgemental feelings here, this is simply a wattered down version of their Industrial lager. Ends sweet, sticky, sugary. Bit metallic ( less than the actual Jupiler, which might be due to watering down ? ) which makes you crave for another sip of something, to wash this taste awat. Conveniently, there is more in the glass, so you'll take another sip. The high amount of Co2 clears the stickyness for a while, untill it starts all over again. Clearly, this is made to be cheap, to be boozed, and most of all, to make profit. All of the things I dislike, represented in one can…. Great work making me hate you even more, Inbev !
