Dusty, glue-like flavor with just a bit of hops. Fairly dry, but watery. Better as many low alcohol beers, because it lacks any wort flavors..

Clear blond colour, white foam disappears quickly. Lively carbonation. Rather sweet, malty, light bitter. Easy drinkable. Not very bad for a Tafelbier.

Old school bottom-fermented blonde Belgian ’table beer’ (tafelbier / bière de table) with medium thick, quite loosely structured but regularly shaped, off-white head, quickly dissipating but stable on the edges and in a landmap-like pattern of thin ’isles’ in the middle; cristal clear, warm and very pure ’old gold’ colour with some visible sparkling. Aroma of aspartame, caramel syrup, industrial honey cookies, sweet dry breakfast cereals, iron, fainter hints of wet brown paper, grass, chalk dust, wood glue. Simple onset, neutral at first quickly shifting to a superficial cereally sweetness with something glueish and aspartame-like to it but not sticky, watery body with mild carbonation, very slick. Cereally and corn-like flavors continue in the middle, very straightforwardly so, with a thin metallic edge especially near the end; finish highlights the bittering aspect of the sweetening agent - the typical bitterish aftertaste of aspartame, bit chalky and effervescent tablet-like as well, like a soda with a very high amount of minerals in it. The sweet effect has already faded before that and the whole finish feels evidently very thin-bodied, hardly thicker than mineral water. Very thin, simple beer, but that goes for all Belgian table beers of course, especially the blonde ones, though some (I’m thinking Gigi’s largely unknown products, or Slaghmuylder’s Tafel Hell) have a bit more flavor than average and deserve recognition as respectable remnants of a lost tradition only some older beer geeks seem to care about. This one is below the level of the mentioned examples, but for its humble purposes, it is what it is, typical for the style, a bit sweetened with a bittering aspartame-like aftertaste and very watery. Feels a bit industrial too, very clearly not an all malt beer and a bit metallic, but less so than e.g. Piedboeuf Blonde, so I’d still recommend this Roman Tafelbier Blond over that one, no matter how completely unambitious and obsolete it may be.

Bottled. Clear golden, no head. Sweet with notes of saccharine and black currant.Thin, but it carries the flavour better than expected for 1.3% beer. Low bitterness.
