330 ml. (looks smaller) PET bottle (a first one for a Belgian beer for me but definitely not something unique in the brewing world as I saw claimed by a representative after I googled this beer) sampled @ home. BBF 05/2016. Purchased @ Delhaize. Found this one amongst the generic brand pale lagers in the store which should tell you something about the intended audience. Pours a very pale golden, nothing speak off as far as head gone. Nose is huge moldy corn in your nose, cabbage, oily & wet rag. Taste is watery & oily cabbage, cooked vegetable, dishwashing water, chemical, corn, chemical sweet,… Massively watery & oily with cooked vegetable. Almost akin to rancid water or diluted pale lager. Unsetling & obviously produced as cheaply as possible as I am used from Martin, in a morbid way these guys do fascinate me. In a way I do suppose this beer suits the show, I must admit whilst I have read a few comics, I have never actually seen an episode but I do have a vague idea.

So this is fun.... Flanders most-viewed series ever AKA de kampioenen ( re-runs still run on TV all the time ) now released its own beer... Trough ’quality’ brewer martens of course... So far, so... doable? But than you notice the beer is bottles in freakin’ plastic bottles, with a few editions displaying the actors - who are now in their middle-ages. Yeah... Marketing at its best, but I don’t expect any quality here... Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is intense, corny maltyness. Taste is plastic (muahaha the irony), chemical maltsyrup, some sweetness ( i blame sugar ) bitter sidetone, OK carbo. Uncomfortable mouthfeel. Harsh aftertaste... is it really THIS sensitive to its plastic container? Or did something just go wrong in the brewing process? Anyway, this tastes nothing like a good lager is suposed to taste. I guess it will sell though, to collectors perhaps ?

New beer commissioned by the crew behind a movie based on a popular Flemish television soap series. Bottled per six in 25 cl plastic (!) bottles, with each bottle showing one of the main characters from the show; apparently an app can be downloaded through which they can be set in motion on your smartphone screen and even communicate with each other. Nice gadget, but I will not bother with this and get directly to the beer. Medium, fairly loose, lacing, eggshell white head over a clear yellow blonde beer with calm sparkling. Not too much in the nose: dry grain, dust, old dried bread, dry cookies, mineral water, faint hint of grass or dried nettles which presumably represents the hops, as well as a very faint echo of plastic (perhaps from the bottle?). Straightforward, sweetish grainy taste, barley sweetness in the simplest way, light and slick mouthfeel, a little bit oily with soft carbonation tingling gently on the tongue, a tad minerally, after which not much more happens apart from a weak grassy bitterness in the end; I would not be surprised if keeping this beer in its plastic bottle for too long, would lead to a certain degree of plastic-like wryness as well. Not the worst lager by any means, just bland, and could do with more hops like many of the run-of-the-mill ’pilsjes’ produced by this brewery for all kinds of contractors. Many of them are likely aliases of Martens Pils, too, and I have a strong suspicion that this goes for this one as well. Has more to do with marketing and packaging than actual beer. I’d rather have any top-fermented Belgian ’streekbier’ for a ’dagschotel’ than this (’dagschotel’ in this case being a metaphor for ’daily beer’, used by one of the characters in the soap mentioned above). Lastly I’d like to add that De Ryck has been selling beer in plastic bottles many years ago - so this one is far from "unique" in terms of packaging.

29/VII/15 - 33cl PET bottle from local Delhaize supermarket @ holidays - BB: n/a (2015-1013)
Note: DARN! Could've been first, damn you backlog! :p
Clear pale straw yellow beer, big aery white head, unstable, dissipates quickly. Aroma: pretty sweet, malty, bit sugary. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit sweet, malty start, sugary, some hay, slightly bitter. Aftertaste: malty, sweet, caramel, sugary, slightly bitter. Nice way of brewing, saving on production cost by going cheap on the hops. :p Now, let's all stand up and hum the new Libyan national anthem. "De Kampioenen. De Kampioenen, wij zijn de beste van het land..."
