Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, slightly creamy, medium sized white to off-white head that leaves a good lacing in the glass. Aroma has malts and lots of grains and isn’t very appealing. Taste malts, sweetish, slightly a bitter hint and again a lot of grains. Don’t like it at all: very unbalanced. Low body, low carbonation.

Bottle at Home. Golden color with a medium white head. A pretty average pilsner, that totally lacks on bittering and aroma hops, as the sweet malty background dominates. Also a slight sour.

250 ml bottle. Slightly hazy yellow body with a fine white head. Aroma of cooked vegetables, broth and a hint of honey. Flavor is harsh metallic bitter and sweet something – not malt. This is not good, but possible to drink as a sample to show that Belgium pilsner seldom are any good.

Bottle, as Aakjær Premium Pils. A more or less clear one, slightly hazed, and topped by a dense, off-white to white head of moderate size. Yellow to golden in color. There’s a touch of celler in the nose, maybe due to age, as well as a fruity sweetness and some grassy notes. Some pale malts. The flavor is sort of citrusy, with pale malts as a base. Rather sweet, slightly plagued with cooked vegetables and some bitterness showing up towards the end. Not very interesting. 110406

(bottle, 25cl, as Contra Premium Pils, 5.0% abv) Slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a blond and dense medium-sized foamy head. Slightly sweet and subtle grainy aroma with notes of overripe pears. Sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly flat carbonation. Fruity malt-character with notes of pears, bananas; sweet malt-accented finish, almost without any bitterness. 01.XI.10
