Bottle shared by 77ships at RBBWG in Antwerp. Industrial pale lager with thin but moussy, snow white head and clear pale straw golden robe with greenish hue. Aroma of sweaty old grains, damp cloth, dishwater, some iron, fermenting grass, plastic. Very neutral, thin grainy flavor, typical grainy sourishness, medium carbo, thin mouthfeel, bit metallic; plastic-like impressions and a very faint grassy touch in the finish, otherwise remaining thinly and neutrally grainy. Watery, bland, very thin and completely industrial lager below average even for this generally very poor style, but a country tick I never thought I’d encounter, apparently brewed by some local Heineken plant...

Head gone in secs, pale golden beer. Pale malts, grains, dull and dusty nose. Sweet, watery, rainwater, pasta cooking water. Light bodied, well-carbonated, watery. Oh dear. Let them brew indigenous.

Joined trade with tderoeck / obtained from Rubin77. Thanks to both! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). Extremely pale golden. Nose is vegetables, chemical, industrial, faint vegetable stock. Taste is herbal, vegetabel, corn, mileder than int the nose, overall quite watery, approaching flavorless. Bland for its own good, there is much worse.

330ml bottle pours out almost like water. Nose is light grain and corn. Taste is light grain and that’s about all.

Can. Aroma horribly fruity and corny, hint of sharp alcohol. Not so bad in flavour - slightly minerally, otherwise completely watery. Drinkable.
