440ml Can: out of date by over two years. Given to me by my Son-in-Law as a joke, he found it at the back of a cupboard at his place the other day and dared me to drink it: big mistake.

Poured into a Duvel glass just for giggles: it looked fine at first and could easily have been a Duvel, golden, bright and clean with a huge white head. The head however soon dissipated and once your nose got close the comparison stopped.

The nose was grass and straw with a grain hint, not too shoddy for an old weak Lager, but certainly no Duvel.

The next step was putting some in my mouth: this wasn't so good, in fact there was no taste,it lacked everything, including taste. Some damp cardboard and a grain of barley mashed in a diluted water solution (is it possible to dilute water?) is the best I come up with for a description of the flavours I found.

Obviously weak in the body: it's only 2.5%. I know the can was old, but I wouldn't even call this a 'lawn-mower beer', it just failed on all fronts.
