330ml bottle [thanks to Aziz!]. Crystal clear, yellow-ish golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, malty aroma with a minimally bready touch, hints of maize, minimally soapy, hoppy overtones. Taste is quite bitter hoppy, minimally soapy and moderately metallic, weak, disguised, grainy malty basis; minimally watery texture. Rather clean, astonishingly hoppy.

500ml bottle [another Aziz import - thanks a lot, monsieur!]. Clear, orangey, pale golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly mouldy, strawy, grainy malty aroma, hints of rice, cautious floral hoppy overtones, a touch of horse dung. Taste is moderately bitter and minimally floral hoppy, minimally chalky, widely disguised pale malty basis with lurking grainy nuances and a touch of rice, very subtle sweetness. Quite hoppy taste, therefore rather crisp and releatively clean contrary to the musty nose. There are quite some worse Pale Lagers out there.

Medium sweetness with moderate bitterness. Light body, sticky texture, average carbonation. Sweet and slightly metallic finish. Great country tick. Fair beer.

Bouteille 33cl, merci à ma collègue en mission dans le coin pour avoir ramené cette bouteille. Dorée, col blanc moyen. Arôme est finement citronné, impression de malt pils avec effet de carton mouillé. Palais est léger malté pils, léger cara, grains sur la fin, le tout sur un effet d'extrait de houblon pas franchement trop convainquant. Effervescence moyenne, fini râpeux et fine amertume.

28/XII/17 - 33cl bottle @ 2nd post-Christmas Tasting (home) - BB: 28/XI/18 (2017-2253) Thanks to sebletitje for sharing the bottle!

Clear blond beer, big aery irregular white head, unstable, dissipates quickly, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of marijuana when sniffing the bottle, in the glass it's way more malty, hay, cow fodder, grains. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: grains, bit sweet, metallic, grassy bitterness. Aftertaste: more malts, soft bitterness, metallic, slightly fruity, some banana.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, thanks martjoobolut, 20150926) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness and cardboard. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness and cardboard. Aftertaste was sweet. A poor pale lager.

Bottle @ Hey Julien is back and Dean’s floor is moist tasting. Is this even a beer? No carbonation, no flavours. Utter crap.
