Medium, off-white head, fed by lively carbonation in hazy orangey golden beer. Alcohol, pale malts, spicy, even somewhat peppery, white candi sugar. Sharpish flavour and even burning MF. Malts, partly toasted, other grains. Again discreet spices, white candi sugar; restsugars. Doesn't feel very attenuated for a tripel, too sweet. Good carbonation, very slick, at least medium bodied. Too sweet for a tripel and too sweet for me. Alcohol character isn't helping. Txs to Stef!

'Pilsener' by this Anker-owned microbrewery located in the church of a village near Mechlin, offering their beers there from tap and in cans; thanks tderoeck for sharing. Thick and frothy, snow white, stable head on a misty pale straw-yellow robe with vaguely greenish tinge. Aroma of freshly cut grass, raw cereals, white bread, green pear, unripe peach, field flowers, green banana. Quite yeasty-fruity onset, green pear and unripe banana notes with a touch of hard nectarine but fairly low in sweetness, minerally carbonation, smooth mouthfeel; cereally and white-bready middle, quite pure, followed by a relatively long, grassy and floral hoppy finish, drying, bittering and quenching, while some of that restrained fruity yeastiness lingers - a yeastiness I associate more with Belgian ales than with unfiltered German Lagers; there is something too 'Belgian' about this to be a credible (unfiltered) Pilsener, so that if I were to taste this blind, 'Landbier' or 'Zwickelbier' or anything alike would not come to my mind - instead, this seems more like a dry, sleek version of a pale lager-imitating Belgian blonde... Nevertheless crisp, refreshing and balanced, not unpleasant in any way - just not a true Pilsener for me, of any subtype.

2/XI/24 - 33cl can from Dranken Marlou (Zonhoven), shared @ home, BB: 6/II/25, lotnr: 724002 (2024-1166)

Clear yellow blond beer, big creamy fluffy white head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty yeasty, fruity, banana, sweet impression, malty, caramel notes, ok, smells like a top fermented beer though, not a lager… MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, malty, bitter touch, a bit fruity, banana, peaches, sweet, yeasty, a bit of caramel malts. Aftertaste: malty, yeasty, bitter, fruity, apples, banana, some caramel malts, no way this is a pilsner…
