Pours a pale golden color, clear, topped with an average white head. Starts with a malty and fruity aroma, turns slightly skunky and sweet, with soury notes. Taste follows the nose, sweet (very), soury notes present. Not at all pleasant.

The pale lager in this series, made with rice. Pours a pale and clear golden blonde with greenish hue under a sticky, snow white head. The cooked rice is immediately evident in the nose, reminiscent of an Asian lager, a bit sweaty too, some grassy hops, white bread and unmistakable iron. Malt sweet taste, sourish rice, minerally, smooth and thin, a bit watery even, with some grassy hop bitterishness in the finish. Different from your average Belgian ’pilsje’, made me think of a tropical lager but with a higher hop profile.

Brežice Beer Fest, thanks Ogi! Despite recent butchering of the terms saison, berliner weisse and sahti, NOTHING has been butchered as much as the term "pilsener". This poured a golden body with a white head. And that’s where every similarity to a pils stops. Dry sourish aroma, chewed up bubblegum. Sourish, bad vinous vague taste - rice FFS. Unless you really have no choice...

330 ml bottle. Pours a clear, golden yellow with an average, frothy, short lived, white head. Malt aroma with grass and corn. Sweet flavour of malt, grass and corn with a slightly dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.

Bottle. Clear light golden with small white head. Grass, sweet grains, artificial marzipan, herbal bitterness with some untie eggplant. Light bodied. Not as bad as I'd imagined, boring lager.

Bottle at the Brouwcafe, Scheveningen. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a broken white head. The aroma is malt light citrus. The flavour is medium bitter with a malt floral palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Unlikely to be at CBC any time soon!
