Bottle shared at kermis' vegan food tasting. Clear golden with white head, what a surprise. Hop extract, honey, some cardboard, chicory, old veggies, rotten wood. Under medium sweet with nasty chemical bitter finish. Under medium bodied. Not worth the 50 cents this costs.

Can from Lidl, Loosduinen, as Argus Pils. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a short-lived frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is cardboard malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light, watery, woody, light floral hop bitter palate and a lingering dry bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

5/VII/17 - 50cl can from Lidl supermarket @ home - BB: 20/V/18 (2017-972)
Clear blond beer, big irregular creamy solid broken-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: malty, grains, bit sweet, fruity touch. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, bit sweet, grains, fruity. Aftertaste: bit sweet, very malty, some caramel, soft bitterness, some banana, could definitely use more hops, other than that, not really a bad beer.

50cl can from Lidl (actually the alias Argus Pils with 4,9% ABV). Pours clear golden with a lasting, small, white head. The weak aroma contains corn, maize, grain, some can iron and wet cardboard. It tastes light sweet, light sour and very light bitter in the finish. Thin texture but a rounder mouthfeel than other Pilseners (or Pale Lagers, for that matter), fizzy carbonation. Better than the Argus Lager, but inferior to Perlenbacher Premium Pils, which can also be found in Lidl. Moving on...

Blik thuis gedronken. Bleek geel, helder bier met veel schuim. Schuim trekt redelijk snel weg. Aroma van gist en hooi. Smaak is iets fruitig en bitter. Bittere smaak trekt een beetje wrang weg.

As Argus Pils, from a can mentioning 4.9% ABV with different font and colours so not entirely the same, but apparently the ’Pils’ version is aliased to this one here and I am confident that the differences between both versions are not much more than microscopic. From a 50 cc can bought at a Lidl supermarket, for which this is exclusively made by Martens, the ultimate - independent - bland industrial pale lager factory in Belgium. Medium thick, regular, snow white, lightly lacing head retaining well on the edge but quickly dissipating in the middle; pale golden blonde robe, just a tad ’darker’ (or more accurately put: more ’old gold’-hued) than the basic Lager version of the same brand, with some visible fizz initially. Aroma of soggy sweetcorn and corn syrup, flour, damp cloth, ’can’ iron, polenta, wet paper. Evidently grainy taste, sweetish corn syrup again with a sharper ’pure’ grain side providing a sourish effect, but both very restrained, fizzy carbonation, thinnish body but not necessarily thinner than any other industrial standard 5% lager, some grainy oiliness in the middle but also a clear metallic ’zing’, leading to a finish in which only the briefest, but still recognizable hint of grassy hop bitterishness appears upon swallowing. A cornmeal-like flavor thinly lingers in the throat along with this grassy bitterish accent. Cheap, metallic and very corny standard lager, pale grain juice with alcohol as they all are, bare and drab as expected, so there hardly is anything recommendable here, but there is worse out there; I guess explicitly labelling this as ’Pils’ (or, as stated, ’Pilsener’ when it comes from bottles and carries 5% alcohol by volume instead of 4.9%) is an attempt at giving it a somewhat higher profile than its Lager counterpart which is apparently brewed in Germany - probably only to justify a slightly higher price. Contrary to that Lager version, this at least has a certain ’cleanness’ and noticeable - though vague - hop bitterness, but I would still classify it as a pale lager rather than a Pilsener nonetheless. On top of that, this is probably an alias as well: in contrast with the huge number of brands Martens churns out, they probably use only a handful of different recipes. Who will ever know - and, more importantly in the context of this website, perhaps: who cares?

Can (from lidl, Luxembourg). Pours dark golden. Aroma is hops, malt, caramel, some cardboard. Flavor is on the sweet side with some hoppy bitterness and caramel notes. Finish is dry bitter. Overall: drinkable.

Heller, bitter süßlicher Antrunk. Trockener Mittelteil, zunehmend herb, süffig. Bitterer, dennoch weicher Nachhall. Einfaches aber gut trinkbares Pils. 7/7/8/7/5/7

Trocken bitterer Antrunk, nach dem man vergeblich auf neue Aromen wartet. Etwas herb, trocken bleibend, sehr geringe Würzigkeit. Kurzer laffer Nachhall. 8/6/7/6/6/6
