Typisches Industriebier halt, zu Pizza durchaus trinkbar. Getreide, recht flach, okay.

Might as well tick this for free at this lounge lmao

Can from Delhaize. Clear red, small, pinkish head. Uninviting aroma of grain, chicken food, old beetroot, red cabbage, wet socks, very vague biscuit. Taste has sweet corn (syrup), old biscuit, red cabbage, grainy & yeasty sidenotes. Grainy, sweetish finish, yet metallic too and similarly wry and industrial as the original. Light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. A disgraceful attempt at 'innovation' but at least a tad more drinkable than the original. Frankly, the Belgian national team deserves better for its - at times vivacious - style.

35,5cl can (0,89€, easy confused with normal Jupiler where is also written “red inside” now, official beer of red devils Belgium's national football team beer) from Carrefour Market Cours St. Michel in Brussels. F: big, off-pink, almost good retention. C: red, clear. A: malty, bit corny, some mineral aspect, bit red candy. T: medium malty base, corny, bit grassy, red fruity aspect hardly noticeable, weak bitterness, medium carbonation, at least not the same colour as original :)

Temporary special edition of Belgium's national standard lager, coloured red with extracts of carrot and blackcurrant (so much for the innovative brewing techniques the 'brewery' brags about), referring to the Rode Duivels ('red devils'), Belgium's national football team, in the midst of the football craze engulfing our country at the moment. Claims to have the exact same taste as the original - so let's open a can I got from a 'friend' next to it and see if this claim is justified... Medium thick, breaking but stable, irregular, uneven-bubbled off-white head with pinkish tinge, over a crystal clear, indeed bright vermillion red beer with lively sparkling. Unsurprisingly weak aroma of the water in which corn is canned, actual soggy sweetcorn, iron plates or piping, wet kitchen towel, hard plastic, carbon dioxide and minerals, vague baking soda, a distant an volatile background whiff of cooked red cabbage (DMS, not uncommon in the background of industrial lagers) and something very, very faintly sweetish, as in red candy but much weaker - I guess all but unnoticeable to the average Jupiler drinker, but no doubt linked to the colouring agents. Neutral onset, lots of minerally carbonation as in sparkling water, shifting to a simple corn- and cooked grain-like sweetishness in a thinnish way, edged by metallic effects and leading to a mild grassy hop bitter touch in the finish, alongside that sweet rubbery note I always get in this brand; the regular version, in comparison, shows more of this bitterness, but to the point that it becomes a bit wry and 'chemical' (as is often the case in this genre of beers), whereas the red version seems to retain more sweetness, albeit in a weak, unexpressive way. Well, at least they did not make a sweet red beer, but otherwise this is just as bland, artificial, superficial and tasteless as the original, just a bit less bitter and with more sweetishness in its tail, a sweetishness that must be related to the carrot and blackcurrant extracts that went in here. I already heard from pub owners that this red gimmick version is not a commercial success - hardcore Jupiler drinkers will never touch anything else than their trusted brand even if it is a variation of that brand, see what happened with Tauro for comparison - so this red Jupiler's chances of survival of the finale of the UEFA European Football Championship are probably even slimmer than those of the Belgian national football team. I will not miss it when it is gone, obviously, but I think no one will - the only distinction that will set this beer apart, is perhaps a footnote in beer history of being the most unnecessary beer ever made.

Expecting this to be a malt drink or something, rating accordingly. Smell- weak malt-ish. Foam- small-ish light brown color. Thin, malty. Appearance- weird bottle, plastic cap. Like regular plastic, but glass instead. Dark ruby color. From - snifter Taste - malty, weird sweetness, faint hops. Feels like cheap beer fixed with cheap kvass. Not horrible, but I would not seek this again.

zero alko, niczym wynik Pliskovej w meczy z Iga Swiatek, tyle ugrala, no ale mecz o wiele ciekawszy niz to piwo. Belgia nie zawsze musi miec wybitne czy dobre piwa, takie tez sie moga przytrafic, jasna barwa piwo kompletnie bez uchwytnych aromatow, piana srednia choc krotko trwala, tak krotka niczym mecz wspomniany w finale w Rzymie.
