On tap at Red Rock Cafe in Dunkirk, France.

It’s really not as bad as one might think. It’s not the donkey sister that is full of swans. It’s just there and ready to do the job. I’m going to paint the wall, but not make fancy... Damn, our waitress is kind of hot… Raul, you’re married!

On tap in Bussana.

White head. Lace. Clear golden color.

Fresh, crisp, clean. Earthy hops, grassy. Bready, biscuity malts. Smooth and easy drinking. Very enjoyable. First went down to fast and had to get a second.

250 ml bottle, as Maes Pils, at the Manneke Pis, Tenerife. ABV is 5.2%. Pale golden colour, big to moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of honey and flowers. Thin mouthfeel. Bland flavour, but some hops in the finish.

Has a one and a half finger head that fizzles out a bit leaving some decent lacing and a cap of froth. Bright translucent yellow colour. Good carbonation.
Very slight aroma of corn and some grass.
Taste follows the nose in that it's quite light corn tasting, a bit grainy but still light with some grassy hop character.
Has a light watery body and finishes quite dry and crisp.
I like it enough. It's a straight 3s kind of beer but it doesn't have any unpleasant off tastes so it does the job.

Light golden color with a thin head.
Aroma with notes of malt sweetness, glucose and faint hops.
Flavor with notes of corn syrup, mild generic hops, cardboard and oxidation. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light body with good carbonation.
Unpleasant Adjunct Lager with sweet and mineral-oxidized notes, even though being recently canned.

Pours clear, light gold in color with one third inch head. Taste is grain, tree bark, and light grass. Light bodied, sweetish, with moderate carbonation. Makes for a slightly above average pils. Could do again or pass.
