Sampled draft @ brewpub. Hazy golden, thin solid white head. Nose is vegetable but not extremely so, sweet cooked corn, light DMS, white sugar & BE yeast. Taste is cooked apple, creamy corn, white bread, white sugar, light DMS in the back,… Oily apple, bland, okay but maybe once people will learn that pilsners do not need taste of cooked cabbage, just very maybe.

Sampled draft @ brewpub. Descriped as an amber pilsner by the server. Light amber, creamy off-white head. Nose is like caramel extract, plain dull caramel, thin with light spices,… Taste is metallic with cooked apple, reminiscent of caramel extracts, light spices,… Thin, metallic, boring, bland. Meh.

Draft. Golden color. Grainy aroma, with a little malt. Fresh bitter taste of grain and pale malt. Some mild hops. Not bad, just a pilsner.

Sampled draft @ O.B.E.R. Kestbierfestival 2014. (Thx!) Clear oily brown amber with no head. Nose is muted leaves, yeast, plants, very sweet. Taste is bitter leaves, herbal malts, bitter herbs, something rotting & bit nasty. Med. body. Eh.

Port-blended beer since 2010, don’t know if they still make this. Had a pale creamy head and brownish burgundy colour; sweet aroma of honey, milk chocolate, port wine, Belgian chocolates, butterscotch, black pepper and soft, thick palate, a bit fluffy, with lots of creamy and caramelly, full malt sweetness, raisins and indeed a hint of port wine, albeit a little less pungent than I had expected, warming alcoholic finish. Nice.

Only available at Domus, seemingly a session amber (spéciale belge) with clear amber colour and thin off-white head; caramel malt aroma, floral and somewhat spicy hops, dried fruits but low ’esteriness’; malty taste, nutty, dried fruits, dryish, soft aromatic hoppy finish. This is way too ’clean’ and straightforwardly malty to be a true amber ale: as the brewery has indeed acknowledged before, this is actually an amber-coloured lager in the Märzen style!
