It IS brewed for and available @ Delhaize supermarkets, but the label does nowhere mention Delhaize, nor the word "fish" - at least not in English.p/i> Huge dense & fine, just yellowish head, leaving textbook lace over hazy yellow beer. Very spicy nose, herbal, faint dry leaves, and pretty neutral. A light citrussy nose aroma, not forbidden to think in the direction of the infernal weed. Outspoken citrussy, and more natural (= less coriandery) than suspected. Refreshing qualities. Still, very little else. Quite lively carbonation, spritzy, medium bodied @ best, bit slick. Not bad. Might supplant the obligatory quarter lemon on the plate.

50cl can from the Delhaize near Plopsaland, where I always take my empty bottles for some cash. Drank at home on 23rd May 2018, the can well in date. Clear golden pour, the head a fast fading white crown which soon turned into a weak wisp and collar. Grainy nose and taste with a corn sweetness to the 'tramp juice' that this beer is. Glad the wife had some because I suspect this is a hangover special.

50cl can from a Delhaize in Ghent. Tasted some time ago, but with the brewer unknown I was unable to add the beer. So here it is, from Bavaria... Pours clear golden and fizzing with a thinning, frothy, white head. Uninviting aroma of grain, sugar, honey, artifical hops, maize, some citrus, iron. It tastes medium to heavy sugary sweet and light grainy bitter, already slightly metallic. Grainy finish with lingering sugar, iron and a wry wodka effect. Medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. A terrible new product, but when it comes to Strong Lagers the Gordon Finest series has even worse examples...

Euro strong lager from a 50 cc can commissioned by Delhaize. The can itself does not bode well: a simple, machistic design of a sword-wielding Viking on a plain golden background. Medium thick, irregularly lacing, egg-white head quickly crumbling and thinning under influence of the alcohol, atop an indeed - as promised by the text on the front of the can - cristal clear, pure metallic 'old gold' coloured beer with a couple of tiny 'dots' floating in it, no idea what that could be. Aroma of old, sweet popcorn, honeyish white candi syrup, 'can' iron, 'papier maché', warm cloth representing crude pasteurization, honey 'wafels', wodka, methylated spirits, hints of grass and banana 'jenever'. Artificially sweet onset, lots of residual glucose syrup weighing heavily on whatever thin cereal base this lager has, otherwise simple and neutral with softish carbonation; simple and proportionally thin, breakfast cereal-like middle including iron shavings forming a sturdy metallic edge, with that pure industrial glucose-like syrup sweetness continuing well into the finish, where the only thing changing is an uprise of crude, harsh, wodka-like booze, heating up the throat yet admittedly remaining tempered by that ongoing syrupy sweetness yet still astringently piercing through it, even sticking to the teeth a bit. A clear and resounding metallic 'zing' echoes after swallowing, but there is no denying the harsh, eventually even throat-burning booze. Strong pale lagers from cans (or even bottles) are never encouraging to the true beer lover of course, this is the kind of cheap crap alcoholics can enjoy, and in that respect, this isn't even the cheapest of them all here in old western Europe. But it isn't the worst of them all, either, as the syrupy sweetness does deafen the harsh metallic, thin and overly boozy main character of this abominable beer. Within its own specific range, there are worse choices to make, but I am unable to finish a whole can of this cheap, half-hearted beer equivalent of cheap moonshine. Laws should be enacted against this particular class of dreary, depressing lagers. This is what Bavaria excells at - to think that Rodenbach's fate, through Palm, lies in this evil company's hands... Oh well, a tick is a tick I suppose, I knew what I had coming, and as said above, within this particular range it could have been even worse.

01/04/2018 @home - 75cl bottle from a gift. Hazy golden, nice white head. Nose is fresh, malty, low spices, bit fruit. Taste is malts, bit spices, some bitterness, some fruits. Very balanced but really enjoyable.

Paired this with about 15 cheeses, also versused it to a vin jaune. Pours unclear, warm amber. medium sized, white head. Decent stability, also some lacing. Smell is malty, with some mild maltose left. No real hops, some mild esters. Taste is full, malty, creamy body, mild sidenote of the anis, giving more of a robust, complex spicyness, rather than actual anis taste (to my enjoyment! ). Bit sweet, mild esthery ending. The beer worked well with all the cheeses, but I wouldn't specifically put this forward as the best cheese pairing beer.

Bouteille 75cl de Delhaize Enghien. Bien joué que chaque Delaize reçoive sa propre étiquette. Couleur brune/ambre, col blanc-cassé. Arôme est classique, malté, grillé, fin chocolaté avec un renforcement anisé très plaisant. Les effluves sont classiques mais bien rendues. Retrouve un rétro noble sur les houblons. Palais offre un profil très belge niveau levure mais avec un agréable effet malté qui tire sur le grillé avec pointe de chocolaté et un côté star anise qui confère un beau fini épicé. Le tout sur un houblonné plutôt noble qui confère un léger fruité et fleuri allemand pour une amertume plutôt discrète et qui balance bien le malté.
