Small white head, receding over veiled yellow-golden beer. Pale malts, green herbs & weeds. Quite bitter flavour, dry hops & straw, and again herbs and weeds. Ending a tad metallic. Low to medium bodied, good carbonation, some slickness. Nice lager!

Can from the brewery.
A: clear golden, small, white head.
A: pear, apple peel, bread crust, yeast, cereal.
T: sweetish pear, cereal, bitter yeast, sourish citrus.
F: bitter grassy hops, yeast & grain.
P: light to medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation.
Technically fine; it seems like the straightforward styles (if executed without superfluities) suit the modern Musketeers better.

Can at home shared with Laura. Yellow color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, bitter, malt bitter. Don't get a lot more. Hmm okay. Not great.

Pours slightly hazed blonde. Small white head. Scent is fine, tropical lager maltyness. Quite specific, very enjoyable ! Taste is sharp, bitter, very refined. Very balanced as well. This isn't a good pilsner, it's a great one !

The sixteenth Bucketlist beer by Musketeers, this time intended as a 'světlý ležák' or Bohemian style Pilsener - I can only hope it was made the traditional way (with prolonged cold lagering and Bohemian hops) but the text on the can only reveals that it is, thank God, an all-malt lager... Thick, moussey, crackling, eggshell-white, thinning and opening head on a crystal clear, pale 'metallic' golden blonde robe with persistent strings of sparkling in the middle. Aroma of drying white bread, raw cereals, dry hay, freshly cut grass, field flowers, pumice, unsugared muesli, breadsticks, sesame seeds, white soap, plaster, unsweetened bubblegum. Non-estery, sweetish onset, straight to a sweetish white-breadiness with a slight sourish streak, subtle background notes of green pear and unripe banana but very faintly so, minerally side notes and lively, but nowhere harsh carbonation; smooth, slick body, a tad glueish, but believably all-malt, soon overruled by a long, persistent, grassy and rooty hop bitterness, adding retronasal effects of wormwood, white pepper and camomile, but not in a very complex way, drying all the way through. Of course the Czech do this kind of beer better, but I must admit that this 'Climb the Mont Ventoux' (not on my personal bucket list, by the way) appears better than I was expecting, with a light bready malt profile and - to Belgian standards - quite daring hop bitterness. Tastes like the average (yet nowhere the best) Central European Pilsener indeed, albeit notably less refined and a bit more 'bubblegummy'. Among the first of these Bucketlist beers that manage to more or less pleasantly surprise me in its own chosen category - or at least not disappoint me too much.

Draft @ Brewdog Brussels.
Dorée, col blanc crémeux bien tenace.
Arôme est frais, malt pils avec un nez qui me plong eplus sur une base plus belge - ça reste assez chargé en esters.Rétro-nasal délicat et noble par l'apport des houblons, finement sur le côté grains, floral.
Palais est assez classique avec un caractère de bouche me rappelant plus un côté levure belge que Tchèque. Pointe oscillant sur les esters, profile finement épicé/poivré en fin de bouche - houblons nobles, le tout est quand même bien mousseux en bouche sans pour cela avoir une effervescence trop dérangeante.
