Description
The Budelse Brouwerij (Budels Brewery) is a family business that still values the traditions that have guided the brewery for centuries now. It's been at the very heart of the village of Budel in Brabant since 1870. Founded 150 years ago by Gerardus Arts as Brouwerij de Hoop (the Hope Brewery). Today, the fourth generation of the Arts family is at the helm and we are just as committed to the brewing as our ancestors.

Originally rated January 2006. Into a classic American pilsner glass, it pours a pale yellow colour, with no carbonation, but at least, a nice white creamy-looking head. Its retention is decent, and some lacing is left. Good typical pils nose, with some grain malt and clean hops. Watery mouthfeel, with a slight creaminess. Taste is actually not good at all, with a lingering mix of mish-mash vegetables and metallic notes. Hardly any hoppy punch. Some malt is found in there, but just a horrible pils.

Originally rated January 2006 (under the name Parel). This one is definitely better than their Pils. Pours a pale yellow colour with a nice little white head. The lacing is superb and retention is good. Small transparent flakes are also seen throughout the brew. Hoppy Saaz smell is present, just like a pilsner. Medium-thin mouthfeel that finishes dry. Grainy flavour with a light bitterness from the hop, lingering into the back of the aftertaste. Then, some apples appear. Not really a Belgian ale, but a real good brew (that taste like a stronger pils).
