Named for the mythical horse, Bayard, from classic medieval Belgian literature, this light pale yellow colored lager leads with a punchy aroma of florality and a hint of citrusy hops. Light, amply carbonated, and a delight to pair with food, its finish is dry and crisp–perfect for summer!

16oz can from Julios pours a clear, starbrighr gold with a ring of white head. Nose has plenty of grain, grist, straw, does feel continental. Grassy. Flavor is even more clear with grist. Green hop. Dried grasses. High carb, spritzy finish. Easy drinker.

Canned 06/04/2025, drunk 06/29/2025.
Clear, pale-blonde-golden. Large, frothy, rocky, white head.
Not nearly as papery/tannic/grainy as most Belgian "pilsners". Not that I expected Schilling would make a bad one, even if the style kind of sucks. Dainty honey, light pepper, a hint of grain and paper (just enough to establish the style). Clean.
Spot-on for the style with peppery, French-like hops giving earth, herb and pepper. More body than usual, but that's just bc Schilling doesn't suck. Honey, cracker, paper, biscuit.
I think this is one of the worst styles, with that piece of shit commercial Belgian pils being ubiquitous. But Schilling, of course, does the best they can and succeeds mightily, with excellent malt depth and a healthy hop bitterness with fresh herbal notes lingering.

Can at home. Change of pace from Belgian strong just had. Fine gold pour and white puffy head. Nose is spicy herbs and citrus tastes of coriander, lemon, honey dew, grass, bread. Medium chewy palate.

Pours clear, pale yellow into a willi. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Coriander and sweet meadow aromas. Crisp with earthy meadow, coriander and dusty funk upfront turning to bitter pith in the medium length finish.
