25cl bottle, poured into a Chimay chalice.
Pours a very clear amber with reddish highlights. Small carbonation seen rising with a small white head that dissipated rather quickly leaving a collar.
Aroma is curious. Some slight red wine vinegar type smell that was not really pleasant. Couldn't get much else.
Flavors were all somewhat muted. Some light hops, malt. Sort of a sweet/sour thing going on.
Mouthfeel was light, dry and moderately cleansing.
Drinkable, but not too exciting. Nothing offensive, but rather bland. Decent session brew, as I could see that drinking a bunch of these would be possible. But, the beer is lacking character to make it interesting enough for me to want to drink more.

I had a draft of 25 cl in a glass while in Antwerp -- at Bier Central near my hotel. There was a lot going on in this brew, including, Belgian spiciness with some hop. It's the local and I would not market it as APA. It tasted very fresh, which was probably worth a quarter point.

250ml on keg at t Brugs Beertje, Bruges, Belgium (€3.50):
This one was an excellent beer from De Koninck, very smooth & balance whilst seeming quite refreshing too. It was an easy beer to drink with a nice caramel sweetness from the start & some good nutty flavours, although these seem a little strong on the nose than with the taste. There was a good mix of earthy malts whilst keeping the beer relatively light tasting but it's definitely one that I'd have again.

A kind of dull Belgian pale ale.
