The newest in this series of Walloon organic beers to date, an organic pale lager, apparently the first Ginette not to be brewed at Binchoise anymore, but at Belle-Vue, in other words by AB InBev itself - the owner of this brand since 2016, when the four Walloon entrepreneurs behind it decided to sell out. The other Ginettes are - to my knowledge - still physically brewed at Binchoise, in larger quantities than before AB InBev bought the brand, but in any case I think it is about time the company behind it is given separate status as a contract brewery here - if only for the sake of clarity. This pale lager, with dark blue colour in the label distinguishing it from the others, produces a cream white, dense but not very thick head, quickly breaking in the middle into flat 'islands' but retaining very well around the edge, on top of a cristal clear, warm 'old gold' coloured beer, a tad darker than average for a pale lager, with very thin strings of sparkling here and there. Aroma of popcorn, chicken food, margarine, dry breakfast cereals, wet white paper, baking soda, wallpaper glue, cooked apple-like pasteurization, hints of honey, dried field flowers and pollen somewhere, vague plastic. Sweetish grainy onset, very neutral otherwise, medium carbonated, very slick, almost 'slimy' mouthfeel, smooth cereally graininess retaining its initial dull sweetishness and acquiring a touch of brief and superficially floral hop bitterishness in the end, lingering just a little bit on the root of the tongue and providing a bit of balance against that creamy, slick, sweetish 'cerealliness'. All the way, a light metallic 'zing' and that typical 'cooked cloth' effect of pasteurisation remain palpable, as markers of this beer's industrial quality. Organic or not, this is, like the other Ginettes, completely redundant, though admittedly I had way worse industrial lagers than this one, with its relatively full and creamy sweetish-cereally body as a more or less redeeming feature compared with e.g. AB InBev's own pale lagers.
