Oud Arsenaal, Antwerp. Clear yellow color, medium white head. Soft and slightly bitter pilsener. Easy to drink, nice starter.

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes in a lovely swing top bottle with a "painted" label. Fully golden, slightly sweetish beer with a lovely, full head with good retention. Very smooth and easy to drink with a good, malty body without much bitterness in the finish. Bought at the brewery the day they released their first "Cuvée de Keizer" - great show! 061099

BottleBlond, clear body. White frothy head, which lasts mostly. Hoppy, yeasty nose. Lightly bitter initial flavour; moderately bitter finish. Lightly soap. Nice pilsener.

Absurdly huge head, white-yellow, very lacy; gold-grain coloured beer, clear. Faint flowery nose. Grainy taste, taste of non-sweet coloured malts, giving it more an ale-character. Faint hops wafting over. Slightly burning taste from the malt, quite dry mouthfeel. Short bitter aftertaste. Tasting this beer raises more questions than it answers. First - is this top- or bottom-fermenting? Wouldn't be the first Belgian "pilsner" to be brewed with ale-yeasts. Second, and certainly it if would be genuine bottom-fermenting - then WHO brews this? 't Anker? Bottom-fermenting??
