Smells like a very piss-poor lager in a can, which I say confidently after sampling way too many piss-poor lagers in a can: tinniness, some corn starch, watery stench like smelling grass that’s been freshly urinated upon. And I’ll assume it looks like a crappy lager as there’s no place to pour it on this chunnel train. Its saving grace is a very average taste with bready notes, some hops, and a slightly dry finish. But it doesn’t taste Belgian by any stretch. A poor showing all around. Avoid this "imported Belgian".

500ml can from a M&S store in Earls Court. Straw-yellow content with fragile lacework on the glass. A bit of cowshed to the nose. Sweet flavour of lime with papery notes. Fizzy carbonated. Very much in the direction of a soft drink (03.08.2009).

Can 0,5l. “Brewed in Belgium”. On a train 14 Nov 08 between Edinburgh and London. Metallic aroma. Pale golden colored. A fluffy white head. Carbonated. Some body (for a lager). Malty, grassy flavor with a dry aftertaste.
